[Dixonary] Rd. 2094: Capivi Defs UP!

[Nancy Shepherdson]

Here are your definitions for capivi, plus one real one. A bumper
crop of great and very diverse ones. If I didn't already know the
answer, I think I'd be hard-pressed to choose the real one.

Please choose two, being careful not to consult a dictionary, by the
deadline for voting, which is:

Tuesday March 6 at Midnight CDT,
which is 10 p.m. Tuesday PDT, 1 a.m. Wednesday in EDT, and 6 a.m. GMT,
Wednesday. That is, approximately 33 hours from now. Vote right away
and you won't have to deal with the confusion...

Good luck, Dixons!

Nancy

Hi Nancy,

It sounds edible. Unfortunately, that still leaves me with too many choices,
so I'll pick:

> 7. An edible seaweed with a strong flavor.

> 16. A fermented goat cheese flavored with anise.

Best, Hugo

<< 16. A fermented goat cheese flavored with anise.

Well, I don't believe it can be No.1 because insects are really interesting,
so I'll settle for 6 and 15:
