What am I???
I know I'm being something of a copycat, as several of my favourite bloggers have been holding little competitions - but I couldn't resist :o)
All you have to do is tell me what you think the object in the photo is and I'll put all the right answers in a hat... You can have as many guesses as you like, and I'll send the winner a wee something...
And to make it as auspicious as possible - I'll draw the names on the Ides of March (the 15th)...

FUN FUN FUN! A guessing game!
Is it a cookie, cracker or middle of a flower? Hmm...I'll keep thinking and if I come up with anything else I will write again. I think it's something laying on fabric.
Is it a potato slice?
uPear , potatoe , or mushroom ?
Ooooh, some great answers so far... but nobody's got it right yet!
Keep on guessing!!
Can we ask questions....
is it..
animal, vegetable or mineral?????
Of course - ask away???
{I'm a vegetable}
Can you eat it?
If so what does it taste like?
Is it fabric?
If so what is it attached to?
Great questions, Angela! Answers below...
{I taste best cooked, though I smell lovely and sweet when sliced. In the pic I'm lying on the chopping board having been peeled and sliced... Like Marmite, you'll love me or hate me...}
its either a courgette, zuccini (?) or cucumber ! Anna
rutabega? rutabaga. hmmmm cannot spell this word phonetically. Not even sure I spelled phonetically correctly, although correctly looks right. hmmmm turnip? There. Turnip is easier to spell. I'll go with turnip.
Water chestnut?
Is it available in UK?
I would say a part of an apple but that's a fruit. Umm........Shucks! A waterchestnut seems good but that might be to big to be one. Don't know...
Ooooh! More great answers...
To answer Mrs Nesbitt, Yes, I'm a very traditional English vegetable... I realize now I may be so English, our American friends may not even know what I am.... ummmm!
Keep on guessing....
Quince?
Quince?
Parsnip?
Parsnip....definately a parsnip!
Parsnip.....PARSNIP!
Parsnip!
Parsnip....definately a parsnip!
Parsnip.....PARSNIP!
Parsnip!
Parsnip....definately a parsnip!
Parsnip.....PARSNIP!
Parsnip!
LOL I think Mrs. Nesbitt believes it to be a parsnip, just in case you couldn't tell from her comments.
lol, know i'm too late but it's a parsnip slice after you've chopped the sides down on a red plastic covering. (nice to find your blog btw)
I agree. It's a parsnip...and a pretty one at that.
Wow! from a far it looks like a button....but a closer look reveals little watery spots....so I think it is some kind of fruit.
Alma
Parsnip!
Ok, I am going to go way out to left field.....is it a used coffee filter?
I am completely stumped otherwise! But I'll keep staring at it!
XO
Hello Claire!
Is it a Jerusalem artichoke? I've never seen one but have heard a description and was told it is a very English veggie...
Hugs,
Wendy
Sweet pepper or some sort of pepper anna
Trying Again !
Parsnip
Turnip
Kohlrabi!!!
Maybe not... but I'll go with that.
ok, if I would just pay more attention to the other comments...so it's a traditional English vegetable. my first guess was being silly.
So of course the first thing I think is parsnip....but then I don't know what is traditional. I'm SO confused. lol!
this time I will say sugar beet and then after that I will say leek.
This is making me a mad woman.LOL!
I, too, think it's a slice of parsnip.
Lobok-Daikon-chinese radish???
Ang
That would be a parsnip! Mmmmm, yum :)
I am going to go out on a limb here and say..parsnip!
You know...Mrs. Nesbitt has said it so often, it no longer looks like a word. hehe
I had my first lychee(sp) recently, but that's not typically English is it? It looked white and soft like that anyway. Whatever it is I love the markings in the centre.
BTW, I love your alter ego.
Since it's nearly spring, I'm going to guess it's a kite. I saw Mary Poppins, I know the Brits like to fly kites!
Parsnips have a plastic covering? I've never cooked a parsnip - or bought one for that matter. Guess I've never tasted one either now that I think about it. But I'm sure it's a parsnip. That's my second guess, yep, a parsnip.
Turnip or raddish or how about cauliflower stalk?? This is truly annoying!!
Horse radish?
Some of my lovely Glitter Sisters over on Violette's messageboard have had problems posting here - sometime Blogger can be a right p**"^%!!
So I'm adding their suggestions... Flassie's had a string of ideas: kohlrabi, turnip, parsnip, taro corms, yucca, white radish, swede, dandelion and burdock!
Liz in the land of Oz keeps staring at it and can only see a car airbag...
And dear EverythingAltered wonders of it's some sort of birth control...
Well, only a couple more days to go and ALL will be revealed :o)
Keep Guessing!!!!!!!!!!!
