Is that a non-stick pan with butter and brown sugar in it, heated to about 400 degrees and tilted about 80 degrees to the right?

Wow, this one is quite the Rorschach test, isn't it? No to the above, however I will confirm it is composed of compounds of organic origin ;-)

It is also not any of the other above guesses, including but not limited to slime mold (great idea though!) fat, a sponge, or a close-up of hell.

ETA: Hint. This was taken at 4x magnification.

Wow, you are *out there* tonight!

But no.

Although I did use some cider vinegar with "the Mother" yesterday :-) Bragg's to be exact.

Wax perhaps?

Who you callin' "honey??"

No, not honey, nor wax, bees- or otherwise. Not sweet, but edible. In fact, I'm digesting it just now.

I may have been using the term "help" rather loosely ;-)

Some kind of dried fruit?

We are definitely moving in the right direction. Not dried, but preserved. A fruit, yes, in the technical sense, though most would probably consider it a vegetable.

Hmm.

Perhaps it's tomato sauce of some sort? Of course, that would be really strange, as it seems to be yellow/brown.

eggplant?

10/03/2012 11:17:41 PM · #3993

The fruit still retains it's original form, but has been sliced. A couple more hints:
- I found it on top of my dinner
- My dinner would be considered to be Italian, though it's really thoroughly Americanized.

Ooooo.... nope!

I was expecting this guess much earlier!

Hmm.. Given all of that, perhaps it is a very thinly sliced truffle preserved in oil?

ETA: Just can't think of anything else they would bother to slice so thin. Other than ginger of course, but that would just be crazy wrong for Italian.

Hey wow. I didn't know Italians used goat hoof in their cuisine. ;)

I think we should disallow the 5x freaking macro... :) Makes fricken olives look like entire frying pans.
