I'll fix the table right away.

I'll wait for the videos until evening.

I really enjoyed the contest! With Ment, I really messed up. I searched and searched among all these food items for something complex that Ment could prepare with his own hands, and I didn't find anything. And I overlooked the bread! Or rather, I didn't think about homemade bread. Ney, I remember your quote from ten years ago, "when I got married, I had to level up my cooking skill to 99," and somewhere in a neighboring post, it mentioned that your husband cooks amazing scrambled eggs. Well, apparently, that's no longer relevant – now it's shawarma. In my opinion, Ar should be a rather discerning person with refined taste, and he would send in "something special" for the contest. That's why I wrote about fried shrimp in batter and coffee frappé. It turned out that Ples sent in both of those. As for the "Fragment" – I'm sorry, I don't know you at all, so I easily attributed alcohol along with fast food. Apparently, for the same reason, many people wrote about beer and gin and tonic. No, that's not my thing; I would prefer wine. But overall, everything was great, and thanks to everyone.

Turns out, Ples sent both. smile04

Actually, it's also a chocolate milkshake! 😄

There wasn't enough tea at the contest. More tea for the tea gods!





This is Valentina Gennadyevna. With the help of tea, she cured her husband's alcoholism, invented a samovar, taught a nasty neighbor a lesson, and won the lottery.



And this is Valera. He forgot to buy tea at the store.



MTG players are also aware and sharing the opinion of a local authority.

I really messed up with Ment. I was looking and looking among these products for something complex that Ment could prepare with his own hands, and I didn't find anything. And I overlooked the bread! Or rather, I didn't think about homemade bread.

I immediately assigned him bread as a reward for his love of kneading dough, but closer to the end of the guessing game, I decided that Heroist was just joking and sent bread and water, so I changed the answers.
Neira was also a main candidate for the shawarma, but at the last moment I decided that maybe not. I need to trust my initial feeling.

Lol, randomness reigns. If I had to guess manually, I definitely wouldn't have guessed anyone correctly, but this way, at least I get something.

I laughed at how many people attributed the milkshake to me. And that everyone guessed I sent ice cream. I should have sent pizza or a burger instead.

If I only had bread and water, I probably could have easily guessed even the most obscure things... But, following that logic, I was sure that the same person was behind both the bread and water riddle. Anyway, despite the not-so-great result, many correct options did cross my mind, and there were no real surprises. Right before submitting, I suddenly realized that I had forgotten to include Revan himself, and that's where things started to fall apart - there wasn't enough "rice" in the answers... 😓 In the end, I chose from the less obvious options, but it just didn't work out. By the way, I made a typo in the drinks and it should have been coffee - which is still incorrect, so it doesn't matter. (Well, at least someone guessed me this time)

I had no ideas at all, but random chance provided me with Locken, and I laughed, deciding that yes, this seems like the truth.

I'd probably walk through doorways without any trouble if I only ate bread and water; there wouldn't be any need for such tricks...

Not necessarily... Look how Orthodox priests get upset by bread due to their endless fasts.

Well, what can I say, the food turned out to be okay, although I hoped to guess more... The Revan-shrimp connection, for example, seemed very elegant, given his love for fried and Asian food.
The drinks were a complete miss... Tough. I thought I wouldn't go wrong with Kosha-chocolate, considering that she 1) never hides her preferences 2) is definitely a chocolate expert; but it wasn't meant to be.
In my drink image, perhaps the hardest part was realizing it wasn't tea... Although even then, it probably isn't obvious, since there's no way to know I'm a fan of that drink except through Alex's unfinished first exp. But on the other hand, I couldn't have sent anything more associative.
P.S. Siv wrote our nicknames in the same style I used to match the food and drinks

Let's start with the fact that some options stemmed primarily from two ideas: "Well, he lives alone, so he probably doesn't cook and likely eats ready-made meals or something similar," and "He seems to have stomach problems, so his food should probably be less harmful," plus there are themes related to drinks and food. I found Sivas's post about potatoes and initially included it, but then I thought he was joking and changed it. I remember Ment and bread from his stories; I even told my father about a friend who bakes his own bread (the topic was simply about bread). I also remembered Ples's preference for milkshakes from our conversations. Regarding Kosh and Neyra, everything is clear, although I did mix up some of the teas, but it was originally correct, and then I found an old post by Revan about tea, and the mistake happened again. I might have also included Ment, as he also seemed to have positive things to say about teas. As for Lok, I remember him mentioning apples a long time ago, but also eggs, so I chose between the two, and unfortunately... I also gave him water because it seemed like it was mentioned, while coffee and teas were generally neutral, but I should have remembered what he brews during games. The rest was basically chosen randomly. As for me, I'm not a coffee lover, but I like lattes. It's especially good when you go into a cafe in winter or late autumn after a walk to warm up and order one, maybe with a snack. You sit there and drink it; it's delicious and warm. The other drinks are generally more ordinary, but I also considered plain water; after all, it quenches thirst best.

I didn't understand what you meant by "shrimp," but someone just pointed out that they're breaded, and I hadn't looked closely at the picture before, so I thought they were nuggets. I doubt that would have significantly affected my vote, though.
