Okay – this hasn’t been the easiest of quizes but we had left it open in the hope of more responses. Thanks to our plucky entrants – and all shall have prizes.
What is the red fruit called in Peru? (Hint: sounds like a fish). Alison and Rosalind are correct – it’s tuna!What is this? Alison and Rosalind are correct – it’s a nose ring!Who lives here? The household guinea pigs apparently, lived under the stove (that’s what this is) as it was warm.What is this contraption used for? It’s used to filter water – there’s a bowl at the bottom to collect the filtered water.What are these and how are they used? Rosalind is right – these are cochineal beetles. We had a demonstration of one being crushed and producing the most beautiful red.What is this made from? Any guess as to when? Alison is right again! These are indeed sea snails.Any idea what these processed foods are and how do you cook them? These are dried potatoes which can last for years and just need to be rehydrated for cooking,What is this dish? (Yes, we ordered it) Alison – you’re right. It was guinea-pig which we really didn’t like.What are these used for? (Look closely) These are whistling instruments – look closely and you’ll see holes.What is this contraption for? (Hint – ultimately it helps with communion) There is another very clear handle on the side which is turned to grind the flour for communion wafers.
That communion answer is very left field! Also, at the risk of being too competitive while I’m sure those are cochineal beetles there are also cactus spikes.

I’m sure no- one has ever suggested even a tiny trait of over competitiveness. At the risk of prolonging the issue, I’d simply point out that the question was what are these and how are they used – your answer, involving cactus violence, sadly was not correct..

Very interesting to see the answers, and that I would have scored zero

No,no – there would have been at least one you’d have got right – the warm, under oven guinea pig haven ( well, haven before they were eaten) perhaps??
