(Keesan's never heard of spinach spaghetti, lasagne, etc.?????)
#179 looks like a nut butter.

No I had not heard of spinach spaghetti, only plain spaghetti. I had heard
of spinach noodles (macaroni type). We make our own noodles from durum flour
and don't add coloring, the vegetables get cooked separately.
Not a nut butter.

No, but closer. The 'calcium A' might be some sort of clue as to the origin
of the container.

By that clue, I meant that whoever printed the container did not know much
English, this product is imported. If nobody can guess any closer in a few
days, I will tell you the region of origin.
This product can be mixed with another 'what am I" and used to dunk
pieces of bread into.

It's gotta be cheese! :-)

Cheese has quite a bit of sodium (salt) and protein (casein), but I admit that
it also has a lot of fats in it. The nut butter and sunflower seed guesses
were a bit closer. It has no cholesterol, and cheese has a lot of
cholesterol, because all animal products have it. As a hint, this product
is from the same part of the world as our previous entry (pomegranate syrup).

Keesan mentioned using tahini (sesame seed paste) in item #43 and this
looks pretty close (clues match, too), so i'll guess that.

Pickled eyelashes? Bees Knees? ;)
I just had to add that.

Not eyelashes (they probably have cholesterol, as do bees' knees). Yes, this
is tahini, we bought a large container to add calories and flavor. I have
used it on boiled potatoes, on salad, etc. Well, unless I can look things
up in my nutrition book, we are out of labels. Time to go to the CHinese food
store and get something interesting. Who wants to go next?

They seem real bashful when we put it that way. Maybe we should just tell
someone "you're drafted".

I second the motion! It is much more fun to guess than to enter labels.

Looks like our draftee is overdue for his physical. Perhaps the draft
board should refer his file to the dodger patrol.

It has been a week, we need a volunteer, quick before I enter a very strange
label from China which nobody will be able to guess. (Total fat 62 mg,
calories from fat 0 - the new miracle food?)

Hm, I guess I was drafted at some point. Sorry, draft notices
aren't binding unless sent by registered mail (the old-fashioned
kind, not email). Well, *maybe* I'll enter something this
morning, maybe not. If keesan beats me to it, so be it. I
shan't complain.
(I'm the only person in the known universe who still says "shan't".)

Not true!! I do, too. Also, re: 62 mg fat, 0 fat calories, fat has 9
calories to the gram, so 62mg would be better expressed as 0.062g, which would
give slightly over 1/2 calorie.

Rounded to the nearest calore that is 1 calorie. Remmers, I can wait. Shan't
is British English, are you British in background?

Nope, not at all. Born and raised in Indiana.
Okay, hm... I'll have to go peruse the pantry contents.

(is there a difference in meaning between "shan't" and "won't", or are tehy
interchangeable?)

Shall is British, will American. In primary school in Boston they tried to
teach us I shall, you will, he will (or was it you shall?). Shan't and won't
are the negatives for these.

(Hopefully His Snordship will soon emerge from the pantry. There might
be plenty of volunteers for the rescue team, but i wouldn't count on any
of them coming back real soon...)
