HEEPS Food and Drink - The Reveal

24

Comments

  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    We have a Joint Sheep this time, as cheddar and brie both share the (dubious) honours. ShaneU and spook_ie cleverly avoid the cheddary Sheep by being very specific about the type of cheddar they want; the_syco takes it to yet another level of specificity.

    Mozzarella is the Heeps with Edam not far behind. Ferris_Bueller's gives a good Irish answer but the patriotism doesn't quite pay off sadly. Green&Red and phatkev both go for the general rather than the specific; again, doesn't quite pay off.

    Too timid in this I think I was. Probably not too many Sheep but not enough Heeps. Tough balancing act.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    A well-timed Heeps (well, they're all well-timed I guess!) sees Toto extend her lead at the top. Siobh73 overcomes the "conspiracy" that held her back in the past few rounds to join aaronjennings in the silver medal position.

    9. Name a green vegetable

    We’ve had lots of sugary and fatty foods in the past few rounds but we’re gonna be more health-conscious now. Everyone has to eat their greens, but which are the most popular....

    Perhaps unsurprisingly, the good old Irish classic cabbage Sheeps this round.
    Broccoli is the Heeps.

    Necro's answer of "garden pea" is grouped with "pea"; as far as I can tell the only real difference is that it's not from the can!

    sKeith goes for a very obscure classification of "apple" as a vegetable; I don't know enough about botany to say that he's wrong, but I for one always thought it was a fruit.

    Another botanical note; it would appear that a cucumber is actually a fruit rather than a vegetable...but no wrong answers in Heeps!

    Another Heeps for Toto Wolfcastle sees her hold on to her lead, but Siobh73 and aaronjennings continue to chase hard. At the bottom end, rainbowtrout gets a Heeps to lift herself level with the_syco; perhaps a late surge is on?

    10. Name a type of soup you might see on a restaurant menu

    A hearty bowl of soup is hard to say no to, but with so many options available it’s hard to know what’s the most popular….or is it?

    Bad news if you said vegetable:

    90d.jpg

    Trigger goes for "Mixed Vegetable" which isn't distinctive enough to avoid getting grouped in here (surely all vegetable soup is mixed vegetable? Otherwise it'd be named after the one veg that's in it!)

    Tomato is our Heeps, but Three More Big Sleeps might regret adding an extra ingredient to their bowl.

    Spook_ie goes for an answer that's too clever for its own good. While Sheridan81 goes with one that's too vague for its own good.

    Sea bass is the Sheep; I don't really eat fish so I'm not sure if this is a surprising Sheep or not?

    Salmon is our Heeps; Toto misses it by going with hake, but Siobh73 goes for the same answer and thus doesn't capitalise.

    Which of these dishes is one of our biggest Sheeps of the night?

    Yup, Shepherd’s Pie is far and away the most popular potato dish here with twenty-one submissions! Five players opt for its close relative Cottage Pie, however I haven’t grouped them together because Shepherd’s Pie is traditionally made with lamb whereas Cottage Pie is traditionally made with beef – as far as I’m concerned, that’s a substantial enough difference for them to be considered distinct dishes.

    Similarly I’ve kept potatoes au gratin separate from dauphinoise; the former traditionally contains cheese whereas the latter does not (I am of course an expert on fine French cuisine and totally didn’t need Google to tell me the difference…. >_> )

    Niska and Sawduck introduce some Spanish flair into a round that's otherwise dominated by Irish, British and French dishes.

    Toto Aced that last round but her closest challenger Sheeped, so she keeps her lead for now. Sawduck catches up to aaronjennings in the bronze medal spot.
