Without knowing too much about pudding, I would think Bread, Milk and Whip. Bread pudding is a thing, and milk may be an ingredient in puddings and whipping may be part of the process of making a pudding.

Aack! well, I guess that makes up for FILE.

So definitely Mammoth as a future bonus. If we get that far. And 1 more, + 1 bioterrorism...

Oh, just realized I have another thought I forgot to type on petroglyph...

One of these should also be the remaining word for Peel. I guess that would be Bread here. Milk is for sure a Pudding word.

There is no whipping involved in the making of Pudding. Some people might still like to have whipped cream with it. Alternatively it could be Degree, since you have to cook it.

(I really thought Oil would be the Bioterrorism word too, since it fits both Bio and Terrorism separately.)

Other possibilities: Marble— this has a culinary usage but I’ve only seen it applied to cake

Plastic— thinking about little pudding snack packs you might put in a child’s lunch.

Let’s lock in Bread and Milk

Blue & Blue

faust · « **Reply #831 on:** December 10, 2020, 12:29:39 pm »

I think I'd go either Degree or Plastic out of the options we have. Plastic has the added benefit of potentially being a Peel word.

jotheonah · « **Reply #832 on:** December 10, 2020, 02:29:15 pm »

Ok, I'm more comfortable with Plastic

gonna need a moment to think this one out sorry - I'll get to it this evening.

Arab: 3

infangthief · « **Reply #837 on:** December 11, 2020, 03:44:58 am »

So we need to get 3 from Arab, and 1 more from somewhere else.
There are probably 2 remaining for Petroglyth (or 1 if PLASTIC was one of them).
There is probably 1 remaining for Bioterrorism (unless it was MARK or PLASTIC).

infangthief · « **Reply #838 on:** December 11, 2020, 03:53:23 am »

Arab could be... AFRICA (probably), TEMPLE (possibly). Is an Arab CROSS a thing? Really not sure.
I still like MAMMOTH for petroglyph.
MARBLE looks possible still, for petroglyph and maaaaaybe Arab as well.
What else should we consider?

infangthief · « **Reply #839 on:** December 11, 2020, 07:59:49 am »

Thinking about it, a mammoth would likely have been a terror, of a biological sort, if you'd met one back in the day. So I like it for both bioterrorism and petroglyph.

So I'm favouring MAMMOTH -> AFRICA -> something -> something.

Need a petroglyph link for one of the somethings, and an Arab link for both of them.
For now I think MARBLE and TEMPLE are my favourites, though the Arab links are pretty weak. Some even more tenuous possibilities would be:
- BERMUDA: it's a type of sail-rig, and Arab Dhows were a thing (though I think not bermuda rig).
- ROOT: As in cultural roots. Though if it's both ROOT and AFRICA I'd have thought "Arabic" would be a clearer version of the clue. Unless the 3rd word needs it to be "Arab".
- WELL: As in oil well, and oil production is big in many Arab states.

The others are Eagle, Brazil, Buck, Whip, Cross, Degree.

What was your other thought on Petroglyph, Scola?

scolapasta · « **Reply #841 on:** December 11, 2020, 12:24:50 pm »

It was in fact, Africa.

So yeah I'm happy to start with those two:

MAMMOTH -> AFRICA

then we can reevaluate.

Swowl · « **Reply #842 on:** December 11, 2020, 02:04:49 pm »

Mammoth red
Africa neutral

Good try y’all, not the best clues on my end.
I’ll let them hit their last one before breaking it down.

Galzria · « **Reply #843 on:** December 11, 2020, 02:26:40 pm »

Rio: 1

faust · « **Reply #844 on:** December 11, 2020, 03:27:38 pm »

Must be Brazil, right?

Though I am confused about how Brazil relates to pudding. Maybe that is some culinary specialty that I am unaware of.

scolapasta · « **Reply #845 on:** December 11, 2020, 03:44:59 pm »

Clearly it's wrong then. Don't guess it! :p

jotheonah · « **Reply #846 on:** December 13, 2020, 12:08:49 pm »

Let’s just go for it, I don’t really get it either.

faust · « **Reply #847 on:** December 13, 2020, 04:10:14 pm »

Brazil

Swowl · « **Reply #848 on:** December 14, 2020, 01:06:27 am »

Brazil is blue!

GG!

infangthief · « **Reply #849 on:** December 14, 2020, 08:25:41 am »

Well done blue team.

Swowl, what are the Arab words?
