What Am I (Part II)
| 
Nov 6 21:15 UTC 1995 |
It is the purpose of this item to continue the Game of Nutrition
Facts Labels, as begun in the now-bloated Item 89 of the Cooking
Conference, which was originally Item number who-knows-what in
the Enigma Conference.
Somebody enters the Nutrition Facts label from a food product;
others try to guess the food. The first person to guess correctly
gets to choose and enter the next Mysterious Label, which other
people then try to guess, and so on and so forth ad infinitum.
Thus, the Game is self-perpetuating and continues until
the fall of Grex, the demise of the Nutrition Facts labeling
system, or the end of time, whichever comes first.
Valerie Mates (popcorn) guessed the last food (olives)
correctly in the previous incarnation of this game. Hence it is
her turn to enter a Nutrition Facts label. Ms Mates?

conference is now linked as Item 265 in the Enigma conference.]

Gotta find a puzzle fw to link this to puzzle, too.
Eeep -- I had insider information to know that Rob eats olives.
Here's the awful one that I didn't enter last time it was my turn:

Prune butter?! Nope.
By the way -- where can you find prune butter? I have a hamentaschen
recipe that calls for it, but I've always substituted applesauce instead.

Lotsa minerals for 1/2 ounce! Nutrient-enriched health-kook cookies?

I haven't been able to find prune butter either, but then I haven't
looked very hard. I too have a recipe, for muffins, that I'd like
to try once I get my hands on some.
Does this mystery product have anything to do with seaweed?

Nothing to do with seaweed, as far as I know.

I think that Rob should be exempted when Valerie has a label going and
vice versa.... no insider trading ;)

Well, we no longer live together, so we have only eating habits
as clues...hint: neither of us is likely to post meat products. :)
How about Peat Moss Brownies? Or Pecan Sandies, with real sand?

Not peat moss brownies, not pecan sandies, not squid newtons. :)
Hint: Someone was looking at the vitamin content earlier. I'm fairly
sure this food is enriched, rather than naturally containing tons of
vitamins.

Sugar-coated rice or pasta?
(Btw: Tried "corn nuts" tonight...not bad...they taste kind of like super
sugar crisps, but with salt instead of sugar...and they're crunchier.)

Not oatmeal. Not Cream of Wheat. You're in a neigboring food category,
but not in the right category. And the right category isn't one you'd
expect Grexers to be eating from.

I've mentioned long ago that I eat this food, but I scanned the current
kitchen conference and didn't find any mention of it. Probably the discussion
took place before the kitchen conference was re-started, way back when.
