Ten points to whomever correctly guesses the item I purchased on the train this morning that contained, according to the ingredients list, "beef fat."

And no, it was not an item containing meat, like a sandwich. Think outside the box!

Update: heartovmidnight correctly guessed a danish!. I am actually one-quarter Danish, by the by.

Joe Louis?

[skeezix1000.livejournal.com]

That's actually the first thing I thought of too. And now I crave one, beef fat and all.

[c9.livejournal.com]

Close. Correct category ("Snacks, Oven")

[thayleia.livejournal.com]

I am guessing some kind of breath mint

[c9.livejournal.com]

Ew! Nope.

[primary-suspect.livejournal.com]

I would say fries but I'm not sure if they sell those on the train or not.

[c9.livejournal.com]

Nope. In the US McD's still uses beef tallow, but in Canada they don't. Non-McDonald's fries I'm sure vary.

[gueny.livejournal.com]

I vote with nihilicious. Many of those pre-packaged cakes contain beef tallow.

[c9.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, your answer has to be in the form of a specific foodstuff.

Pepperoni stick

[c9.livejournal.com]

Pepperoni sticks contain meat, so nope.

[skaughty.livejournal.com]

Their seasonal fruit salad, of course..

[c9.livejournal.com]

Hahaha -- close, in the "WTF?" sense.

[cap-hill-latte.livejournal.com]

My $$ is on vegetable soup or shortbread cookies.

Or, maybe, your copy of the Globe?

[c9.livejournal.com]

Very close on one. Not the Globe. :)

[heartovmidnight.livejournal.com]

A muffin?

[c9.livejournal.com]

Very close, you're in the right category of snacks.

[zedinbed.livejournal.com]

Blargh! Yes, that's what you bought. A freakin' blargh.

[c9.livejournal.com]

I'm allergic to blarghs.

The clues thus far:

1. A non-meat product that contains beef fat.
   
2. A vegetable based product.
   
3. A baked product.
   
4. Not french fries.
   
5. Not a blargh.
   
6. Something one would not associate with containing meat product of any kind, let alone beef fat.
   
7. Can be purchased on the go.

How about zucchini bread?

[c9.livejournal.com]

That's crazy! No.

[nihilicious.livejournal.com]

Ruth Bader Ginburg?

[c9.livejournal.com]

A typo? Tsk tsk.

[purplemartini.livejournal.com]

My guess is something in the plum pudding/fruit cake category. Ben was forever disgusted that I had to by Beef fat to make homeade plum pudding.

[c9.livejournal.com]

Not far off, but no. Answer above.

hmm

[benjidacruick.livejournal.com]

a package of nuts?

Re: hmm

[c9.livejournal.com]

Nope! Answer above.

[ex-thrasymac191.livejournal.com]

I'll bet it's a donut

[c9.livejournal.com]

Very close. Answer above.

[putaindemerde.livejournal.com]

Okay, so cinnamon danish with beef fat?

I know... I'm really late on this whole thing.

[c9.livejournal.com]

Close, but wrong flavour.

[simplisticton.livejournal.com]

I'm not surprised. Beef fat is pretty close to lard, and lard is used in a lot of pastry to make it flaky.

Was it flaky? Or beefy?

[c9.livejournal.com]

Pretty balanced, actually.
