The Daily Feud: Food, Glorious Food! by Fiddle Peghead [Game Over]

DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS

Object of the game: Try to think of the most popular answer, to get the most people matching you. Google is allowed, if you desire. Only answers that are "serious" will be scored. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.

Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points.

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me and I'll get you on The List.

*****FORMATTING OF ANSWERS IS IMPORTANT!*****

Write your answers like this; Do not repeat the questions, no periods at the end of answers, no spaces between lines, no comments, no fancy list coding. And no quotes, please. If you need to comment or clarify your answers, do it AFTER the list of answers. Thanks.
JUST LIKE THIS:

1. answer <<---There is a space after the period!
2. response
3. rejoinder


The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at 4:00 PM Central on Thursday, 02/12/09 whichever comes first.

Good luck!




1. Besides chocolate chip, name a kind of cookie.
2. Name a cut of steak.
3. Name a vegetable good for grilling.
4. Name a food that just isn't worth it without adding butter.
5. Besides oats, name a grain used in cereal.
6. Name a dish named for a person, place, or thing.
7. Name an exotic vegetable (define exotic any way you wish.)
8. Name a pasta type other than spaghetti.
9. Besides an apple, name a kind of fruit you would find in a fruit basket.
10. Name a savory (not sweet) dish that uses cream.

Is kiwi a vegetable? I always thought it was a fruit. I only ask because I love kiwis and I'd like to add one more vegetable that I enjoy to my list.

2: It was that or ribeye
6: I know there are plenty of other examples... Why is this the only one I can think of?
7: Much-discussed this past year
10: First thing I could think of with a cream-based sauce, but there are many others.

7. This vegetable was commonly served in Geneva, but so uncommon that I bet most Americans have never heard of it.
My answer to #10 would have been good for #6. So would Cesar Salad; will be interested to see if that's a popular answer.

I always thought "salsify" was what you did to a tortilla chip before eating it.

#7 is in honor of the feud's author
