Let's say you're locked in a special room and only had one choice of these three foods-- chocolate, honey or strawberries--which one would you choose and why?

As much as I love chocolate, I'd choose the strawberries. Chocolate makes me thirsty and too much can constipate you while strawberries don't do either and are healthier.


myLot reputation of 92/100. nyhollyjean (332)   ranked 1,536 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Oh, I didn't know chocolate could do that--never had that problem.:-) But, I agree--I think strawberries are probably the most practical. Luckily, I love all 3!

I chose the chocolate, it can provide us with the necessary body heat. Heart health, help us to improve our blood circulation.


myLot reputation of 92/100. nyhollyjean (332)   ranked 1,536 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Sounds great to me--I love any excuse to eat chocolate!:-)

I would choose strawberries,they contain plenty water and sugar,etc,and are more suitable for surviving in bad situation.


myLot reputation of 92/100. nyhollyjean (332)   ranked 1,536 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

I have to admit that I think you're right, but chocolate could make my last days so much sweeter! lol

Strawberries would be so much more healthy than chocolate, wouldn't it? Therefore I choose chocolate. Comfort food, that's why!


myLot reputation of 92/100. nyhollyjean (332)   ranked 1,536 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Eh, I could have guessed your answer in advance, my fellow chocoholic friend! lol


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (9739)   ranked 128 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

on the other hand, strawberries sound good...


myLot reputation of 92/100. nyhollyjean (332)   ranked 1,536 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Chocolate and strawberries sound even better-ay?! But, alas, that's not the scenario I wrote.:-(


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (9739)   ranked 128 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Do I have pockets?:-)


myLot reputation of 92/100. nyhollyjean (332)   ranked 1,536 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Ah, you're here after all! Hmm, I suppose you could have pockets....what would you put in them, the chocolate or the strawberries? You'd have to eat the strawberries fairly quickly, as no refrigeration--and pray that your pockets weren't full of lint too! Ewww!


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (9739)   ranked 128 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

I'd have to eat the chocolate pretty quickly too as it would melt. The honey doesn't even bear thinking...

Yep, I'm here. Drove to the courthouse, paid in advance for parking and found out that my group had been dismissed. Don't you just love "government intelligence?"


myLot reputation of 92/100. nyhollyjean (332)   ranked 1,536 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Oxymoron if I ever heard one!! In fact you could just leave off the "oxy" part as far as I'm concerned. I'm sorry--that is a shame about the parking--you'd think they'd at least validate it for you...

Honey in a pocket--definitely not appealing! As for the chocolate, I'm allowing you a table so you can set it down. xo


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (9739)   ranked 128 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

There was free parking on the other side of the highway, but at that point I just wasn't going to deal with it...

I would choose strawberry because they are healthy. I love chocolate, but if I eat too much, I would feel sick too my stomach. I don't feel that way with strawberry.


myLot reputation of 92/100. nyhollyjean (332)   ranked 1,536 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

I think you gave the sensible answer--although I suppose if we ate too much of anything we'd get sick to our stomachs!:-)


myLot reputation of 81/100. Archie0 (3139)   ranked 2,651 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

i would choose chocolate because i can't live without it..I love a good quality bitter-sweet dark chocolate like lindtt. I don't really like milk chocolate. Somehow I feel it's got too much sugar in relation to the cocoa. Ironically, I do love white chocolate almost as much as dark chocolate!


myLot reputation of 92/100. nyhollyjean (332)   ranked 1,536 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

I'm a huge chocolate lover too!! So, I certainly understand your feeling, but I guess the question would be not whether you could live without it, but could you ultimately live with it alone?:-)

Also, did you know that white chocolate isn't chocolate at all?:-)

6. myLot reputation of 61/100. us2owls (2034)   ranked 4,093 out of 19,282 in questions & answers   3 months ago

I would choose the strawberries. I think they would quench a thirst somewhat as well as providing nourishment. If they would give me a loaf of bread too I would probably opt for the honey.


myLot reputation of 92/100. nyhollyjean (332)   ranked 1,536 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Strawberries do seem to be the most wholesome! Great point about the thirst factor, as well. You are the first to mention honey--and in many adverts it's listed as the "perfect food", but it would take a lot of honey to make someone feel full, I think. Sorry, no bread.:-(


myLot reputation of 97/100. thea09 (4472)   ranked 212 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

If one is locked up one can only presume that mosquitoes will have access and honey alone would be madness, they'd be feeding on ones sticky bits all night long.


myLot reputation of 92/100. nyhollyjean (332)   ranked 1,536 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

My, you do have a vivid imagination thea! lol If the room is locked up, then so are the windows--what makes you think the mosquitoes would find their way in? I'd be more concerned with ants, myself...


myLot reputation of 97/100. thea09 (4472)   ranked 212 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

And since when have locked windows been a deterrent to either mosquitoes or ants - ah, possibly a cell not constructed by Greek builders. lol

 
7. myLot reputation of 97/100. thea09 (4472)   ranked 212 out of 19,282 in questions & answers   3 months ago

Hi Holly, I'm afraid you're really going to have to clarify something first othewise I'm going to end up starving in this locked room. Whilst eating all three the chocolate is only now and again as a bit sickly, the strawberries only in season, and the honey daily. But my dilemna is I don't like honey unless it's in my daily yogurt, and I don't enjoy strawberries without either the addition of balsamic vinegar or cream, (not at the same time I hasten to add), so please clafiry if these additional condiments of yogurt and balsamic are allowed. happy


myLot reputation of 92/100. nyhollyjean (332)   ranked 1,536 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

So sorry my friend, no other foodstuffs allowed.:-( If I were to choose for you, I'd go with the strawberries, as if you were in the locked room and you only asked for strawberries, your captors would have to get them imported in order to keep you supplied. So, they would be in season all year round somewhere!


myLot reputation of 97/100. thea09 (4472)   ranked 212 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

bit harsh there Holly, surely you can't object to a bit of black pepper then for my strawberries, i really have a problem with just strawberries on their own and you have to consider my constitution is not used to imported fruit. rolleyes


myLot reputation of 92/100. nyhollyjean (332)   ranked 1,536 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Sorry, friend--pepper makes me sneeze.:-) And would that be the British constitution or the Greek constitution. I know it's not in the American Constitution!


myLot reputation of 97/100. thea09 (4472)   ranked 212 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

I'm refusing to enter your padded cell if you contine to withold black pepper. It really is delicious on strawberries.


myLot reputation of 92/100. nyhollyjean (332)   ranked 1,536 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Well, I thought maybe we were already in the padded cell together.:-) As for pepper, yes I know it's good on strawberries. I particularly like them in a salad with balsamic vinegar and black pepper. However, the question didn't cover anything but choices of strawberries, honey and chocolate. I hope your children don't give you as hard a time with rules as you do me.:-) Or maybe I should say I do. lol

I've found a new flavor for strawberries myself--it's going to sound a little strange, but it's sooo good. A bed of lettuce with sliced tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, strawberries, a few sliced black olives and bacon flavored ranch dressing. YUM!


myLot reputation of 97/100. thea09 (4472)   ranked 212 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Interesting combination there Holly, never tried balsamic and black pepper together on strawberries. Now I've still never tried this ranch dressing but have to say your salad is sadly lacking in spring onions.
I am getting salad withdrawal symptoms now after eating it everyday for months, not a decent tomato to be found anywhere at the moment and 90 cents for a manky old lettuce already showing slime at point of purchase.
Were you implying I can be a tad difficult Holly?


myLot reputation of 92/100. nyhollyjean (332)   ranked 1,536 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

I hope you get to try the balsamic vinegar and black pepper with strawberries--I think you'll like it. As for spring onions with the salad--I think it would be good--I just haven't tried it, as I don't want the onions to overwhelm the flavor of the strawberries--as sometimes they will.

And no, not a tad.:-)


myLot reputation of 97/100. thea09 (4472)   ranked 212 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

I'm not that keen on pasta dishes but a memorable one I recall was salmon, fresh cream, strawberries and black pepper.

Unfortunately there will be no more strawberries here now until next summer, not up to paying 10euros per punnet for imported, which they were today.

 
8. myLot reputation of 72/100. radiance27 (630)   ranked 4,962 out of 19,282 in questions & answers   3 months ago

Maybe strawberries. I love chocolates but if i'm in a locked room with no water in there, I would surely choose to eat strawberries. I has juices that can quench my thirst, compared to the other 2 sweet foods that can only make me thirstier.


myLot reputation of 92/100. nyhollyjean (332)   ranked 1,536 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

A very smart and juicy choice, I think!:-)

 
9. myLot reputation of 82/100. debrakcarey (1351)   ranked 271 out of 19,282 in questions & answers   3 months ago

Can I have strawberries and honey, both? rolleyes


myLot reputation of 92/100. nyhollyjean (332)   ranked 1,536 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Hi Debi!! So glad to see you--and at the risk of ticking off some of the others here, I'm going to say yes to you as a special treat as it's been so long since we've been in contact! Technically this is an "either" "or" discussion. Thanks for stopping by. xo


myLot reputation of 94/100. cloudwatcher (3405)   ranked 2,643 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Debi, you can join my group if you like, and we can all share while having a great natter.

 
10. myLot reputation of 94/100. cloudwatcher (3405)   ranked 2,643 out of 19,282 in questions & answers   3 months ago

NO FAIR! Not enough information!

For HOW LONG am I locked in this room?
What else is in the room? - Table and chairs, a lounge, a bed, a fridge?
What is the temperature in the room?
What quantity of each is available?
Is it dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or varieties?
Is it block chocolate or chocolates?
Is there also water available?
What time of day is it? Have I recently eaten? Is it dinner time soon?
Am I alone?

If I have company (and you didn't say I was alone) I would make sure that my friend and I each chose either strawberries or chocolate, so we could share.

Dark chocolate would be more tempting than milk chocolate. Dark chocolate varieties would be more tempting than a choc block. Ginger dark chocolate would win hands down.

Strawberries would supply liquid, whereas chocolate would make me thirsty, and berries would certainly be better for me. Maybe there is water available?

Honey? Well honey is a complete food and is the only food that never goes off, but JUST honey? I don't think so.

I guess it all depends on the unknown factor. How long am I to be in this room?


myLot reputation of 92/100. nyhollyjean (332)   ranked 1,536 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

LOL Now I can see why you were so good at those puzzles you gave us on Yuwie!

And if my answer is "I don't know"--then what do you choose?:-)


myLot reputation of 94/100. cloudwatcher (3405)   ranked 2,643 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Well, you didn't rule out having company, so I'll presume I have a few friends with me. I'll be the sensible one and take the strawberries and my friends will take a variety of chocolates. One will definitely take dark chocolate coated ginger, one will take a variety box, and the others will make their choices. I think we could survive for some time.


myLot reputation of 94/100. cloudwatcher (3405)   ranked 2,643 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  3 months ago

This could be a fun time. Care to join my group?
Thanks for best response.


myLot reputation of 92/100. nyhollyjean (332)   ranked 1,536 out of 19,282 in questions & answers  2 months ago

Sure! I think I'd be honored to included in any group you are in.:-)

You're welcome and I appreciate the response! xo
