The 2011 NMY7/8 Universal Food List

Here’s the list produced by our conversation on the beach on Friday. If I recall, it started with a misunderstanding of Bri’s invention and use of the phrase “universal foods.” That led to talk and surveying about foods that all of us will eat. There weren’t many. Thanks to Tati for taking notes and passing them along to me.

1. bagels
2. doughnuts (original glaze)
3. Cheerios
4. french fries
5. goldfish
6. french bread
7. pretzels
8. pancakes
9. chocolate chip cookies

Quite a limited palette of colors! A good showing of torus-shaped foods! Wheat-based products, FTW!

Follow-up questions to help with my poor memory (I’m sure it was the sun that caused this lapse.):

• It was Bri that used the phrase universal foods, right?
• Did chocolate chip cookies make the list? I was under the impression that one of you rejected anything with chocolate.
• All meat, dairy, vegetables, and fruit were rejected. What other food groups were rejected?
• Do Cheerios have wheat? Or just oats?
• Anthony was not there. Does he approve of all of these items?
• Does everyone else approve of the full list?

Send me an email if you have any of the answers.

Update: Apparently the list is now whittled down to seven items. Also, Bri’s phrase was intended to describe the shared food bag for our trip to the beach.
