Oh! Took me forever before I realized that filet mignon was also beef!
Really great quiz. Thanks!
Really great quiz. Thanks!
Nice job dream :-)
Cool! I was stuck whether Dana or Barbara ate Chicken or Fillet Mignon... till i saw that Winner4600 mentioned that Fillet Mignon is Beef! (:
I'm glad you all liked it. I'm sorry I thought it was common knowledge that fillet mignon is a small (mignon) fillet of steak wrapped in bacon. I'll see about putting that in the hint if you think it would help.
No, I think it might be ok... I just saw the clue, marked off the strip steak, and assumed it was the only one...
Clue #5 is a great clue. It took me a while to hook it up with another clue. Pretty tricky. At first I didn't think it was necessary. Thanks!
Your teasers are always hard but fun. ALMOST got this one!
Loved it! Keep up the great work!

Took me forever to decide who had the chicken and who had the fillemingon or however that's spelled but I just guessed, and guessed right. But after reading comments I realized that it is also beef.
Yes, the sharing dessert clue was great!

I wound up guessing who had the apple crisp and who had the chocolate pie. How did you know which was which? Also, I figured that the vegetarian would have the apple crisp, since there is milk in a chocolate cream pie!

I guess the sharing dessert is supposed to suggest ice cream and apple crisp? Sorry--not around here! We ALL share ALL the desserts!
The vegetarian clue was in reference to the main dish. And the sharing deserts clue means that both people ate both deserts, so someone that doesn't like chocolate or is allergic to strawberries wouldn't share desert with someone that was eating one of those things.
Very fun - thanks
