0 dyalDragon Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 didn't even think of that, good guess, doesn't really fit though. you can eat it. There is one true answer. you can eat it, but to eat it's ingredients straight off the plant might be a little unpleasant... however i agree it does not fit with the not eating part so hops or barley...or anything else that could be used to make alcoholic beverages that is assuming that you meant 'I'm not what you'd eat' as in 'I am what you'd drink', in which case i will celebrate my victory by cracking open a bottle as soon as i get home... aw heck who am i kidding i'm having a beer tonight regardless of whether it's the answer or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 DudleyDude Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 some particular type of alcoholic beverage but I can't find any that were developed in the 9th or 10th century.

Question
Guest
My Journeys been long
a War in itself
for me to be here
to sit on your shelf
I date back as far
as 900 a.d.
Intense heat and hot water
OH the Battles I've seen
And though I MAY DROOP
from down off a tree
my fruit you don't want
I'm not what you'd eat
From Popes to Emperors
and even great Kings
they've all tried to stop
the pleasure I bring
Then I arrived
in America to stay
A close friend REJECTED!
it was a high price to pay.
