from experience I must admit they all seem to go dirty brown or grubby green! Beetroot makes EVERYTHING red and raw eggs make the mixture slimey! Carrots make it look like something you've already thrown up and sprouts have the same effect whole or liquidised but make the concoction smell foul!

Fish is good liquidised and if you close your eyes spaghetti bolognese tastes good.

I think I ought to write a book on this! :)

Oh yeah! Liquid sushi! Can't wait until the folks at Jamba Juice get hold of that idea.

not sure.

now if someone could quickly bring me up to speed on what an "exclusive" open challenge is all about.
09/22/2005 02:14:27 PM · #30
That means it's only open to those who enter it.
 09/22/2005 02:19:35 PM · #31
Mines a pint if your buying :-)

So...would orange juice be a beverage? The orange was a solid food first. What if it's orange juice with pulp?


Juice naturally exists in the fruit as a liquid. You cut an orange (well a ripe one) in half and juice witll come out on the chopping board. An orange in its own right is a food (soild) which naturally also contains a liquid (the juice).

Oh i'm on a roll, throw another one at me ;)

means you have to pick beverages OR ground up - you cant enter both open challenges so your entry will be exclusive to one or the other topics.

Of course you could do a worms eye view of a beverage - butthen youd have the dilemma of which challenge to enter it in.

baby carrots are juicey thats what carrot juice is generally made of. Full grown carrots arent really juicey at all - it takes a lb to make 8oz of liquid.
I guess carrots would fall somewhere between the orange juice (where the juice is discernably visable from the soild) and the apple pie smoothie example.
Personally i wouldn't have the patience to juice a carrot without adding another liquid to it to speed it up a bit.

Good God, call Greenpeace! They're murdering baby carrots!!!

And here we have it! If it's ground up (and liquedized) it won't fit in "beverages"!
 09/22/2005 05:04:30 PM · #40
I don't know if anyone has looked "beverage" up in the same dictionary as I, but apparently a beverage is defined as:

Any one of various liquids for drinking, usually excluding water.

I wonder if Gatorade had any influence here...

Sorry, baby carrots (like you buy in the store), believe it or not, are just big carrots cut up into smaller chunks...

Even if we are talking about young carrots literally, I doubt you could "cut it open on the cutting board and have the juice run out".

How about Wheatgrass?

LOL -- that was my second choice for an example. How about acknowledging our omnivorousness and using some clam juice?

I dont buy baby carrots at the store i pull them out of the ground in my garden.
I have never known wheatgrass to be taken by itself it is always added to other liquids in my experience.

clam juice is stock with soy added.
It is no more a beverage than chicken stock is a beverage :p

Use A Dictionary.

It doesn't matter WHAT you consider to be a beverage. The challenge will be dominated by bubbly beer, bubbly champagne, and freeze-motion splashes in milk. Everyone else can fageddaboudit :-)

Off the point but... I had my jaws wired together for three months and had to only "eat" liquids - I can verify that practically everything can be liquidised but the final result varies considerably! I can't consider all liquids to be beverages but all beverages must be liquid!

I had my jaw wired for about 3 monthes also. Lived off of mashed potatoes and milkshakes with weight gain added. Man that sucked.

I dont see the point of the debates here whenever someone or anyone person wish to bend the topic or in a nicer term "think out of the box" for the challenge. however, do kindly bear in mind that i personally think;

1. most voters do not read the forums
2. most voters are like the average general population (ie. think that cakes and pies are NOT beverage and WILL vote you a 1 without hesitation)
3. some voters who DO read the forums will still vote you a 1 eventho in the forums they claim not to do it

its always a risk, so try not to think "too far out of the box" or you wont gain acceptance here with the voters.

ie. submit a spiral for the Round challenge, and you still get accepted, but submit an elephant for the Plants challenge and you are in for trouble - no matter how you relate it, most voters just simply dont.
