Foodie Friday: A Culinary Quiz

Welcome to the June 24th Foodie Friday.
The other day I was thinking...if I was a food, what would I be?
Personally, I wouldn't want to be edible--I wouldn't want anyone to eat me. But after I got over the logistics, I let goofiness take hold, and I remembered all the conversations I'd overheard at funeral homes and family gatherings--with people being compared to food.

"Aunt Kick is sweet as honey and just as sticky."

"Billy Bob is hard as a nut on the outside but underneath, he's a cream puff."

"Her personality was sour as a lemon."

Which food are you--an olive, flour, whipped cream, berries, or a turnip?
Are you a combination or are you another food?
Do you have a food analogy?
It's just us Foodies here. Tell us everything.

Take the Food Quiz:

1. Are you an olive?

Olives are peacemakers. They are the first to extend the proverbial olive branch.

Olives think of themselves as drab. In a crowd, they might be easily overlooked.

The olive can be found in salads, pizzas, and appetizers.

They work well with flour-based products, tomatoes, and other olives.
Just don't push them around, because deep inside, they've got a hard, little pit.

Without this quiet, little fruit, we wouldn't have tapenade or olive oil.
While some of us can survive without tapenade, life without extra-virgin oil would be drab indeed.

2. Are you flour?

Flour is quiet and unassuming--but it's essential.

It's a multi-tasker, the key ingredient for fried chicken, biscuits, and cake.

Flour isn't afraid of making a mess.

3. Are you whipped cream?

Whipped cream is light-hearted and poofy.

It's bland unless you add sugar.

Then it transforms.

 Whipped cream assumes the shape of its vessel: Put it in a bowl, and it's round. Put it into a mold, and it can be a flower, a shell, a moon.

It can be piped into shapes to garnish a dessert. It can be the dessert.

Whipped cream can be a smooth operator, but it's easily molded by others.

Whipped cream needs a stabilizer or it will separate into a weepy mess.

4. Are you a berry?

Berries are fresh, sun-loving, and naturally sweet. 

Berries are easily bruised and perishable.

 

 They enjoy the company of other berries.

5. Are you a turnip?

Turnips are loners and aren't afraid of dirt.

They work well with other turnips.

Turnips can be bitter unless you add a spoonful of sugar. 

But they get the job done. 

Which food do you resemble?

A combination?
