0 itachi-san Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 chipwiches, so they can't possibly be avoided like the plague =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) None of these are what I had in mind. There are a couple hints I could give that would make it extremely obvious, so I'll save those for later. I could give a not so revealing hint, but if people prefer I can wait on giving it?

0 Nikyma Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I vote for waiting. Nice puzzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 grey cells Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) An Apple. We find apples on trees , so if we find them we can stay cool. And an apple a day keeps the doc away. So it is a main dish. Edited April 5, 2008 by grey cells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not what I had in mind, and to the best of my knowledge, there aren't people that avoid apples like plague. But good thinking though.

0 itachi-san Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) I'm thinkin'... oatmeal Edit: just to elaborate: 1)at school kids eat oatmeal bars 2)oats have a lower summer heat requirement and greater tolerance for rain than other grains, so they're grown in cooler climates 3)lots of people are repulsed by oatmeal (me for one) 4)the word 'meal' is part of oatmeal Edited April 5, 2008 by itachi-san Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I mention avoiding like plague, I don't just mean they don't like it. For any food you can find some people that don't like it. It's more than just not liking it, or being repulsed by it.

0 Guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) shrimp/shellfish Nikyma has it. I more had in mind lobster, but it also fits for shellfish in general. You might call me crusty If you eat me at school You're more likely to use the scientific term Crustacean, or a shortening of it, at school then just every day. But if you come to find me You'll be nice and cool If you try to get lobsters, or go lobstering, obviously it would be nice, cool weather My reputation won't fade Though some avoid me like plague Some people are terribly allergic to lobster/shellfish, so they must avoid all forms of it, but it still has a very well known reputation for being a specialty But on the inside of course I'm a main dish of sorts Once you break the shell, on the inside you can find a main dish. Or, a Maine dish Edited April 5, 2008 by Noct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
