He created a special type of whole wheat flour that is unbolted and coarsely ground. There is a dispute as to whether he created the graham cracker, or whether others created it using his flour. I've read that the closest thing to graham crackers in Britain is digestive biscuits, if that helps.

I think it's that biscuit you hear pronounced as "gram" cracker in films and stuff.

It was intended as health food originally. And then people started adding sugar and chocolate and marshmallows. Oh, people.

The story is actually quite interesting. It was invented by a preacher during the temperance movement. He believed that it was important to minimize your pleasure on earth as much as possible, including with food. So because of his teachings, followers invented the most bland and boring food imaginable. And now people use it for crust in delicious pies that gives oh so much earthly pleasure.

As another poster said, Ghee is also acceptably spelled Ghi. I entered it over and over and it wouldn't take it.

Graham crackers always make me think of s'mores - a graham cracker topped with a square of Hershey bar and a toasted marshmallow, smashed with another graham cracker square. Mmmm, good.

Very hard, sour beach balls - until they ripen and get soft, pink, and mushy and then they become bleh. I have gooseberries that came from my grandmother who got them from her mother, and now my son is growing some of them, too. Some families pass down valuable antiques, ours passes along thorny berry cuttings.

Yeah, I guessed it because it was the first cheese I thought of that started with G, but that picture doesn't really look like a Gouda to me.

I think I found the cheese used, called midnight moon (shown on mudoquesos.com) The cheese in question is actually made from goatsmilk, so I don't think that qualifies as gouda.

I think it would be best to use an original gouda cheese to be more recognisable, eventhough (or maybe because..) I just learned anyone could use the term gouda unless it is called Gouda Holland, which is protected and can only be produced in the Netherlands (the whole country, not just the province of south-holland where Gouda is)

My grandmother used to grow something in her garden she called gherkins, but they looked nothing like a cucumber. They reminded me of a giant, green, cocklebur. She pickled them, but I couldn't get past the looks of them enough to enjoy eating them.

Gumdrops are called jubes in Australia. Tried several variations of gummy + candy/lolly etc to no avail. Even had a go with gelatine. Can we just get gummy for that one?

Same problem. In New Zealand I would call that a jube, I also tried fruit pastile, wine gum, gummy. Not called gumdrops here.

Ganache? Haven't tried that or heard of it...I though it looked like mole or gravy. Anyway, gooseberries were a childhood favorite of mine. They are hard to find now. Part of the reason is that the gooseberry plant serves as one of the host species of a fungus that kills pine trees that are grown for their valuable wood. Canned gooseberries are sometimes sold in grocery stores, but are hard to find.

Ganache is simply melted chocolate and cream that you would put onto a cake or biscuit, usually very glossy - I'm sure you've tried it!

Ganasche is best when nobody is looking.

I want to do the same with the Dijon and dill on the doritos from the D quiz.

Will be shopping, and then alone.

Part of this is just me being silly, but that cheese hint was more of a hindrance than a help to me specifically. I had no idea Gouda was Dutch, and I couldn't get Groningen out of my head. I probably would've gotten it if I was *only* prompted to think of a cheese that started with G.
