Food: March 2007 Mystery Food

The Mystery Food is an homage to those marvelous school cafeteria lunches of yore.

Is it even edible?   Mr. Worm

This month there were many great guesses, most of which centered around a couple of themes:

"an old potato?"
- Naya

"My guess is that it's a slice of a root vegetable -- either taro or...maybe some sort of potato -- that's begun to oxidize."
- Jean Eno

"potato skin?"
- Maureen Moore

Nope, it's not a potato or a root vegetable, although it does have a potato-ish look about it, doesn't it?

"Is it a zoom-in on a bruise spot of an old apple?"
- REJ

Ooooh. That's a good idea. That's not it, but it's a good idea.

"I say it's french toast.. a lil on the extra toasty side."
- Kristen

"I think your mystery food looks like sumptuous cinnamon sugar butter, the kind I used to glop on my toast when I was young.  you know, melt so much butter on the toast till it’s oozing off the edges.  Then sprinkle cinnamon sugar till you can’t see anymore butter, which may require multiple passes as the sugar melts into the butter.  Bite into it and feel sugar granules going between your teeth.  Y U M."
- Laura M.

Nope, it's not french toast either. It's (insert drumroll here) a closeup of an old banana peel!

Thanks to all for participating!
