Only one guess since Monday.
Clue 1: Although the serving size is 1/2 cup one would usually dilute this
food.

Canned soup? Tomato soup in a can? (tomatoes are sweet, soup is salty)

Would somebody else please enter something? (Yes, your clue was far too
revealing - I could not think of any other 1/2 cup that gets diluted.)
If I enter something it will most likely not be easy.

Really, you don't want to be guessing Chinese olives (not related to the
European ones). Someone with American eating habits please enter something.

I'm not in regular contact wiht packaged food; I just eat whatever the dining
halls give me. If you want a really sadistic one, I might be able to swipe
a few nutrition information cards....

Jim decided it is his turn. No nutrition label on this one, it came by UPS
in a box, in bulk.
1 cup 143 g 40% water 350 kcal 4.5 g protein 75.7 g carbohydrates 18.5 g fiber
3.1 g fat (poly or mono unsaturated) no cholesterol
Minerals: 42 mg Ca, 1.3 mg iron, 47 g Mg, 153 g phos 846 g K 3 g Na
Not a whole lot of vitamins other than 1.92 g niacin 100 g folacin
(For comparison 1 cup cottage cheese has 135 g Ca,.26 g iron, 11 g Mg, 297
g P 190 g K 911 g Na, .30 g niacin, 27 g folacin, making this mystery item
relatively high in calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium/sodium ratio.
Cottage cheese has 0 fiber and 34 cholesterol.)

Clues - as always this is not someone's prepared mixture but a single food,
and there is mention of it in winter agora in one item.

It's gotta be either the reindeers or the chestnuts. :)

You got it. Reindeers are not high in fiber or carbohydrates.
We have frozen most of our chestnuts. They boil up like new and we put them
in our oatmeal, mix them with green beans, etc. Very sweet flavor.

30 g per serving implies that the carbohydrate is sugar rather than starch,
and Dr. Chocolate implies that there is chocolate in it somewhere. Right?
Jim says 30 g is about 1 oz, or 2 tbps. (He learned this in nursing class).
A spread of some sort? Jim says 'raspberry jam'? (It would at least go well
with chocolate). I say it can't be, no Vitamin C. Peanut butter is too oily.

It's buried at the bottom, but the label proclaims 0% for sugar.
A bit of arithmetic: 30g (serving) - 1g (fat) - 22g (carb.) - 3g
(protein) = 4g for everything else.
30g is about 1 oz.....*if* this food's density is about the same as
that of liquid water. (If you're talking weight oz's instead
of fluid oz's, the 30g thing is true regardless....but then 1 oz
may not equal 2 T.)
I've been calling myself "Dr. Chocolate" in the cf. for years, so
it might not be safe to make the assumption...

Jim asks 'rice cracker'? No salt, no sugar, no chocolate. No fun. :}
(Jim asks why not :) - I tell him that } shows his beard)

Wonder Bread or some variation on it without added vitamins?

The food has *way* too much fiber to be any member of the WonderSponge
family. You're right that no vitamins (or minerals) were added.

Would someobody else please guess at this one? Nobody wants to be guessing
at the sort of food we would post if we guessed right. Bran?

It's only 1/6 dietary fiber (by weight). Is any sort of "bran" that
fiber-poor?
(You are getting closer to the identity of this upstanding member of
the cerials food group;)

Wheat germ contains more protein and fat, but less carbo's than this
food. Besides, there's no wheat in it.

It's not a ready-to-eat food. And corn can't match this food's
fiber content.
