What Am I? (Part III)
| 
May 22 10:03 UTC 1997 |
This is the Game of Nutrition Facts Labels, Part III. Here is how
it is played:
Someone enteres the nutrition facts label from a food product;
others try to guess the food. The first person to guess correctly
gets to enter the next Mysterious Label.
Following tradition, I am entering this item in Enigma with the
expectation that it will be linked to Kitchen. I'll let Valerie
take it from there; I believe there may be a Label in Progress.

This item is now linked from Enigma 289 to Kitchen 137. We need to find
someone to link it to the Puzzle conference, too. (Carson is the fw there,
but hasn't logged in recently.)
Here's the current food-to-be-guessed, from the previous "What Am I" item:

(Procedural question: Will we know when somebody guesses it?
Amy doesn't seem to be around much these days.)

Good point, Martha. I'll send her e-mail to ask. Grex says she was last
logged in on May 6.

Re: #3 and #4 I am alive. End of the semester crunch has ended.
Not rice cakes.
Not funky (or non-funky) baked-not-fried potato chips.
(Am I doing this right? Or am I supposed to give hints?)

You're doing fine. If we start sounding stumped, or if we stop guessing,
or if you happen to think up an interesting hint that you want to pass along,
then by all means go ahead and give hints.

Okay, well people have stopped guessing, so I take that as a hint that I
should be giving some hints :)
Uh, I guess the rice cakes were sorta on the right track as this is a member
of the grain food group.
Now somebody guess! :)

Oh, for other folks reading this: Type "only 1" to see the label info again.

Any other guesses?

(Actually, there are dozens of ways to make veggie burgers. I've run across
ones made from any of: tempeh, black beans, walnuts and oats, textured
vegetable protein, and assorted ordinary veggies (carrots, potatoes, etc.))

Does popcorn qualify as a grain?
Unsalted popcorn, perhaps?

I'm not sure if popcorn is a grain.
But it's not unsalted popcorn.
Not crackers.
Not rolled oats.
Not bread.
<abchan thinks if there hadn't been a massive delay in restarting this item,
people would have gotten it sooner since she could have sworn she said what
she was eating for a few days... or she's getting senile>

someone could ask a question?

Does it consist of just the grain (like popcorn or some cereals) or the grain
plus other stuff (like baked goodies or more complicated cereals)?

Simple grain. Although when cooking and consuming said item one often adds
other non-grain things.
(does that help? guesses?)
