0 tiger_lily111 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) Mine vary (except in quality - they don't get above mediocre). For this one, all 6 follow a related theme - keywords & a little word-play to get the intended answers. Oh, & if you discover the theme, it should be pretty easy.

0 tiger_lily111 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 2. Green beans? early for Santa and his reindeer! If that's what you do to that vegetable, (& I mean this in the nicest possible way) you should be shot. You have to play nicely, treat them like delicate flowers, otherwise you end up with gross mush. And yes, it is. (It's my riddle, so there's no use arguing.)

Mashed Potatoes - floury &/or waxy types of potatoes, cooking causes the starch granules to swell & release amylose, mashing damages the granules more (too much = gluey potatoes, eew!)

Gravy - 'gravy boat' used to serve, some people put gravy on everything on their Thanksgiving plate DudleyDude 6.
