1.The Curtiss Candy Company's first product was a confection known as Kandy Kake, which featured a pastry center topped with nuts and coated with chocolate. This candy bar was only a moderate success until 1921, when Schnering reintroducedit as a log-shaped bar made of caramel and peanuts, covered with chocolate. Schnering named his new confection the "Baby Ruth" bar, priced it at five cents a bar (half the cost of other bars), and soon had one of the hottest-selling candy bars on the market.

No problem, I just didn't know if anyone was stumped or not, just didn't want us to be stuck at this point. So I guess I should say if anyone ever gets to the point of it being stuck please say let's go on or something; no problem!

No problem, if I am stumped, I will let you know. This game requires a little bit of time, which I have not had. It doesn't hurt to let a thread go a few days or a week or so either. When the fall semester starts I won't always be able to post each day. During exam weeks, I won't be posting at all on the games. I will bbl with the answers.

Next questions


1. In the 20th century this food was considered disgusting by the British, the chef at the Carlton Hotel in London had them accapted by the Prince of Wales by listing them on the menu as "cuisses de nymphesaurore"- what is this foods common name?

[cat lover]

1)Lost this answer; the question was posted so long ago! LOL If I remember right it was oysters I believe.


2)Lost my percentage answer! But a lemon has about 2-3 tablespoons of juice in it



3)How and by whom eggs Benedict was first created is a matter of controversy. The first story, which itself has four variations, begins in New York City somewhere in the 1860’s or 1880’s, (even the dates conflict, depending on the source). Supposedly a financier by the name of LeGrand Benedict (version one), or his wife, (version two), complained to Charles Ranhofer, the famous chef of Delmonico’s restaurant, about the paltriness of the menu. Ranhofer responded by creating eggs Benedict. Or was it co-created by Mrs. Benedict and Ranhofer, (version three), or by Mrs. Benedict and the Delmonico’s maitre d’, (version four)? Interestingly, in Ranhofer’s well known 1894 cookbook there is no mention of eggs benedict, or any of the possible namesakes.

An altogether different account credits a stockbroker by the name of Lemuel Benedict in 1894. As the story goes, the hungover stock broker was having breakfast in the Waldorf when he ordered toast, bacon, poached eggs and a side of hollandaise sauce. According to Lemuel Benedict, the maitre d’ of the Waldorf, a fellow by the name of Oscar Tschirky, noted his order and transformed it into the modern day classic by substituting English muffins for the toast and Canadian bacon for the regular bacon. Interestingly, Tschirky had been a head waiter at Delmonico’s, a possible link to the confusion of the stories.

The third and least credible claim is that eggs benedict was invented at the renowned Brennan’s Restaurant in New Orleans. One myth can be dispelled. Eggs Benedict is not named after Benedict Arnold, the famous Revolutionary War general turned traitor.

Anyone ready to play this game again?
