10. No. (It's at room temperature.)

Can you clarify, please - do you mean "It's at room temperature now" or "It's at room temperature that it turns liquid"? Or soemthing else I haven't thought of? (This shouldn't count as a question...)

Perhaps I misunderstood your question. I was guessing that you meant room temp. rather than body temp. so I was trying to be helpful!
To clarify my answer, the item in question is at room temperature now & is liquid at that temp.

OK... I specifically said body temp. because it varies less than room temp - a tub of margarine could be liquid at Californian room temperature, while vegetable oil could be a solid at Alascan room temperature...

I'm still a little confused though; first you said "No", but your clarification seems to say "Yes"...?

(Alascan = Alaskan )

11. Is it a honeypot and the honey inside?

11. No

Sorry Peet, having tried to be helpful, I've made it worse!
No it is not a liquid currently at body temp. but yes it would still be liquid at body temp. Room temp here (with the heating on & sun shining) is probably about 20 C.

12) Is it a can of vegetable oil / Mazola?

12. No

To recap:

It's mineral & vegetable

1) Is it bigger than a shoe box? (Size 7 1/2, CDN)
No (not in volume anyway)

2) Is it edible?
The vegetable part is.

3) Do you eat it on special occasions rather than on regular basis?
Yes

4) Can the mineral, veggitable and animal parts be taken apart?
Yes

5) Does it always come in one piece, as opposed to you having to assemble the constituent parts yourself?
No

6) Is the mineral part a container?
Yes

7) Is it a tube of Pringles crisps drool
No

8) Would the vegetable part commonly be fed to a pet?
No

9) Is the vegetable part a liquid at body temperature?
Yes

11) Is it a honeypot and the honey inside?
No

12) Is it a can of vegetable oil / Mazola?
No


So.....
12a) What happened to question 10? (You put a (10) next to the answer for question (9) and nobody noticed at the time... You still owe us a question!)

13) Does it require special storage?

and 10) Can you order it in a restaurant?

Is it a seasonal thing?

15. Is the edible part savoury?

10. Not the exact item I have in mind, but the vegetable part you could.

13. Not as far as I'm concerned. (Purists might disagree.)

14. No.

15. No.

16) Would you commonly have to add anything to the vegetable part before consuming it?

16. No

17. Is it a corndog? (Wiener on a stick covered in cornbread.)

Belle, it isn't animal, so it would have to be a vegetarian corndog, and a pretty runny one to be liquid at body temperature...

Sorry... stupid mistake... nevermind me... please continue... I'll just watch...

You're not too late to change your question...
