New Meme: Name That Food
I think this is a brandy new meme! I think this since I'm copying it from dancinglights and she seemed to be doing it just because she was bored in the kitchen. So, I'm officially declaring this a pointless meme.
WARNING: I want people to comment before they read other people's comments, so just hit the "leave a comment"/"reply to this post" link/button/icon now, you can read other people's answers later.
Below are three ingredients lists from stuff in my house. See if you can guess what they are just from the list. I tried to give an easy one, a moderate one, and a "how could we possibly have figured that out" one. For extra credit, see if you can guess the brand (all three are well known brands in most American grocery stores)!
water, prepared beans, tomato paste, brown sugar, sugar, salt, distilled vinegar, modified corn starch, spice, mustard seed, mustard bran, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, turmeric
sugar, enriched flour bleached (wheat flour, niacin, iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), cocoa processed with alkali, partially hydrogenated soybean and/or cottonsead oil, wheat starch, salt, corn starch, dicalcium phosphate, dextrose, artificial flavor, gellan gum, nonfat milk.
potatoes, whole wheat flour, water, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (contains one or more of the following: palm oil, soybean oil, cotton seed oil, rice bran oil, sunflour oil, sesame oil), salt, spice, ginger, green chillies and glycerol
Go ahead, guess. And, if you feel like it, grab three things from your home, and do the same from your own kitchen in your own journal.
Update: I'll be posting the answers sometime on Saturday.
Update 2: Extra extra credit (since it's not even a "major" brand here): barracuda fish 30%, dried chilli 20%, tamarind juice 20%, shallot 19%, sugar 6%, salt 4%, monosodium glutamate 1%. Yes, I'm putting this up entirely because I was amazed that something in my cabinet had barracuda in it. A hint: neither "fish" nor "barracuda" appear in this product's name.
