Maybe they appeared together on a menu for a special occasion.




LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/1/2009 7:17:59 PM)

Nope, nope and nope.  BUT! The commonality does have to do with their origins.  Oh, yeah, all these DID originate in France.....

I thought this was an easy one, but I'm seeing that it's gonna get me called nasty names when solved or (as I suspect) revealed.




HatesParisHilton -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/1/2009 7:26:28 PM)

guess one:  due to Lance being "Lance":  they all came from "Greek dishes", ha ha!

(no?  too bad, oh well...)...

guess 2:  they all (in their "origins") have wayyyyyyy to much yeast in their original recipes!




dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/1/2009 7:35:21 PM)

They're all condiments?




fluffypet61 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/1/2009 7:38:06 PM)

Hi, Hiltie.  [sm=waves.gif]
 
Some are fairly old in their origins - as early as the 14th century
Some are fairly late in their origins -  the 1880's
Three are French Names
One is a Spanish Name
Some are from Normandy
At least one is not
Some have raw or nearly raw ingredients
Some are cooked through
 
i'm not finding much in origins, Lance.




LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/1/2009 7:51:14 PM)

All four are French names.  And the most recent is in the 1960s. But the commonality is more than that.

Let me know when y'all have broken down.....

<Maybe, just maybe there's hidden clues in my responses.>

Ok.....all these dishes were created by cordon bleu chefs in France?

As forr the nasty names...well if I knew it would do me any good which I know it won't so I shall be a good cub and refrain   (halo shines bright)

okay...cancel the cordon bleu angle....the dishes contain egg




fluffypet61 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/1/2009 7:55:45 PM)

girl begs to differ, but "Salsa Mahonesa" is Spanish.   "Mayonnaise" is the French.




Wolf2Bear -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/1/2009 7:57:17 PM)

I googled  salsa mahonsea and by the pic...it is a cream based salsa or sauce. 




LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/1/2009 7:57:22 PM)

Nice guess, bear.... but one was created in commemoration of a battlefield before Cordon Bleu existed.  The most recent by a shop keeper in a city in France.

NO ingredients enter into commonality. 




HatesParisHilton -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/1/2009 8:06:00 PM)

HOLA, Fwuffy!  [:)][:)]

They were all dises heartily enjoyed by authors considered Brilliant in their time?

(I'm shooting buckshot at the barn door here, lance)




LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/1/2009 8:07:44 PM)

fluff: OOPS - you are MOST correct.... Salsa Mahonesa is Spanish in origin, but guess what?  That still fits the commonality which speaks (if the written word can be said to speak) to the origin.




HatesParisHilton -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/1/2009 8:09:37 PM)

If this has ANYTHING to do with French Reolutionaries, Lance, I am gonna KILL you.




LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/1/2009 8:11:14 PM)

Hiltie: it doesn't, but why would you kill me if it did?  Just askin' for next time.




Wolf2Bear -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/1/2009 8:12:00 PM)

well one recipe is named after Dieppe which was a battlefront in Dieppe France  lol

eta:  WW2




LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/1/2009 8:18:29 PM)

THAT is the closest yet, bear!  Just extend that factoid across the quartet! The fish stew is named after its city of origin..




HatesParisHilton -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/1/2009 8:20:30 PM)

I meant in the "stand up comedian drag queen" way, Lance, not literally.  (LOL), like if you (Draggie 1) where wearing CHROMATIC VIRIDIAN eyeshadow on stage with me, and I (Draggie #2) asked,

"oh, what's THAT for?", and you replied,

"Well YOU'RE the Irish Twink, sweets, not "moi", and it's March 17th...  sorry I didn't remind you of the date..."

Arggggggghhhhh!

that kinda thing.




LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/1/2009 8:26:15 PM)

Hiltie: How did you ever know that St.Patrick's Day is my birthday?  I traditionally DO wear CHROMATIC VIRIDIAN eyeshadow, but refuse to "work" a stage on that holiest of days.

see, this is why some people mistake me for being "psychic".

No, I did not know, but I somehow knew I had to make the joke with that day mentioned...

but I label it as "instinct...
