Who can guess what I plan to do with these...
« Reply #-1 on: October 17, 2013, 04:57:50 PM »
Time for a new contest, so let's see who can figure this one out.


I picked several of these leaves last weekend while out on a short hike. What will I make with them?



I also pulled up a small root of the same tree species to use for something else.



The first person to correctly identify:

1) The tree species,
2) What I will do with the leaves,  AND
3) What I will do with the roots

will win one (1) bottle of a new secret recipe rub by Savor Spices that Teesquare is working on. But you must correctly guess ALL Three!


PLEASE - Complete guesses ONLY!   Be careful to NOT give any hints if you only know part of the answer!

NOTE:

In order for this to work well...PLEASE ....NO partial guesses. I will delete those, so as to make it a fair contest for all... Nothing personal, and I am not trying to offend anyone by removing their post. I just want everyone to have the same chance to win...

We have a WINNER!


In fact I'm going to declare a tie: Congrats Hikerman & Smoker Pete!

Smoker Pete was more accurate with what I'm doing with the root, but I had already told Tee I would accept either Root Beer or Sassafras Tea as a correct answer to the root!  L.A. was also very close!


1) Tree Species: Sassafras

2) Leaves: Filé powder - to be used in gumbo

3) Root: used for Sassafras Tea and/or Root Beer.


The only thing left is for you two to to let us know how Tee's new "super-top-secret" rub is after you get it!



P.S. I'll post more details & pics of the File Powder & Sassafras Tea later.

Well congrats to you guys! 8)

I was thinking Maple Leaves

And you were going to make Maple Syrup with the Maple Leaves

The Maple Root would be shaped into a fork to eat your Maple Syrup covered pancakes

Looks like I was way off ???
