HEEPS Food and Drink - The Reveal

1. Name a food item you’d find in a Full Irish Breakfast

Let’s start with breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Nothing says “healthy and nutritious” like fatty meat products and assorted carby accompaniments. all fried to perfection! Which of these elements did you opt for?

Sheep, Crackle and Pop! Rice Krispies is the most popular choice here, with Corn Flakes and Weetabix sharing the honours as joint Heeps. Coco Pops also does quite well, though LeVar opts for a somewhat more obscure chocolatey treat. Spook_ie says “Cheers”, which I can only assume was meant to be Cheerios?

And only one apiece for both porridge and muesli; so much for healthy eating!

Now time to keep hydrated for the day ahead.
3. Name something you might drink at breakfast time

Something wholesome and traditional?


Or fully caffeinated?


Maybe something fruity for your 5-a-day?


Or maybe even a Bavarian breakfast beer?!

In the never-ending battle between tea and coffee, it’s the latter that nabs the coveted Heeps spot; that extra bit of caffeine is probably needed by most! But it’s orange juice that Sheeps and provides a less-than-healthy nul points to 15 of our players (Mehaffey1 specifies “Pure Orange Juice” but this sadly isn’t distinct enough to earn a point).

Purple Mountain and Ferris_Bueller get on the scoreboard, but it's a hat-trick of Sheeps for rainbowtrout and Zaph.

Collie D's penchant for citrus sees them slip down the table; BuileBeag and s1ippy capitalise by sticking to a nice cup of tea.

4. Name a fruit that’s commonly used to make jam

Time to sweeten things up a bit now; who’s a jammy fecker and who will find themselves stuck in a jam?

BuileBeag and s1ippy will never listen to Raspberry Beret again; they tumble down the table with Toto Wolfcastle and sullivlo taking the advantage for now. Four players are just three points behind but of course, as we've just seen, everything can change in just one question.

Zaph registers his first points of the game, leaving rainbowtrout sitting alone in the spoon position with her fourth successive Sheep.
