Wednesday – I spy with my little eye – Mini contest (9)

in Steem Kids & Parents2 years ago



Hi kids!

It is Wednesday!

In South Africa we call it “Wacky Wednesday”.

For those of you who don't know Dr. Seuss’s book “Wacky Wednesday”, it is about a kid who experiences all these “wacky” things like a shoe on the wall. Yes, it all happened on a Wednesday.

One of our well-known fast food outlets has this “wacky” special of buying a burger and getting one free every Wednesday. You also get schools who give the kids extra lessons on a “Wacky Wednesday”.

On Steemit we have “Eye spy with my little eye” on a... “Wacky Wednesday”!

Let’s look at last week’s clues;

1. It is a 14 letter word
2. It is savory and sweet
3. It is a liquid
4. It is safe to use for a very long time

Okay, I must admit, it was a bit of a difficult one this week but I was convinced that someone would be clever enough to put two and two together and tell me it is 22 and not 4.

And the word is… WORCESTERSHIRE

Worcestershire is a liquid or a sauce and is also known as a condiment. We use condiments to flavor our food like tomato sauce, mustard, salt, etc.

Worcestershire is made from vinegar, anchovies, onion, garlic, tamarind, molasses, sugar and, other seasonings.
The taste is savory and sweet.

Because of the ingredients it is made of it is aged for 18 months and only then it is bottled.

It was developed, by “accident” in the town of Worcester in England way back in 1835 hence then also the name.

What I find very interesting is the name given to it by the various countries.

Unfortunately, we had no winner this week. Is it bad? Nope!

The prize of 2 STEEM is now 4 STEEM this week!

Time for your next game!

The game is exactly like last week;

The game “I spy with my little eye” is sort of a detective game. The “spy” is the person who sees something and the rest of the players must then guess what the spy is seeing.

Of importance, it must be something that you can see and not something you can feel like an emotion.

BUT, “I spy with my little eye” is so much more than just a spy game;

  • It is a thinking game
  • It teaches you how to use your logic and reasoning and
  • It grows your vocabulary

Clues:

1. It is a 10 letter word

Worcester...

In Germany it is mostly called "Worcestersauce". Wikipedia says "Worcestershiresauce", but this sounds not familiar to me.

Don't know who suggested "Dresdener Art". Never heard of it! From the meaning of the words, it just would be some kind or variation out of the city of Dresden. But while Dresden is famous for "Dresdener Stollen" (a special Christmas cake), there is nothing to say about Worcestersauce from there.

Worcestershire is the name of a county, and so I was astonished to read that the county's name also is used to name the sauce without the word "sauce".

Gy-Nguang and many other "imitates" include Soya - which is NOT part of the original recipe!

And that my friend is how we all learn!!

Now moving away from the sauces...
Dresden - We've got stamps from Dresden. One day I will have the courage to sort out all the stamps.
My uncle was from Germany and there are stamps dating back from the early 1900's

My answer here is

PACKAGINGS

Reasons for my answer

1; it is a 10 letter word
2;from the clue given it was said that it covers something, and yes packagings covers a product
3; it can be removed, before a product is used the packaging must be removed before use
4: it comes in various shapes, colors materials; depending on the type of product inside it can come in any shape , material, design , color, like a pizza which is round but the packaging which is a square box(shape) in any color, material and so on
So ma @patjewell my answer here is packagings, I had to crack brain before finding this guess😅😥

I hope you didn't crack your brain too much. (•ิ‿•ิ)
And now... now you have to wait until Wednesday to see if you are right.

WHY is the wednesday called “Wacky Wednesday”? And did I correctly understand: each wednesday, not just a special one (like for example the "mardi gras")?

What means "Eye spy with my little eye”? Is this a joke with words or is it a typo?

 2 years ago 

It is every Wednesday... And if we don't call it Wacky Wednesday we refer to it as "short Saturday".

"Eye spy with my little eye” No typo, no joke.
Hopefully the kids are on the "lookout" for the weekly game every Wednesday.

Thanks for all your replies. ;-)

I found a book - nearly 50 years old - called "Wacky Wednesday". Is this the patron of the saying? The German translation reads as "Was für ein verrückter Freitag" - "What a Wacky Friday"...!
