AnswerMug Challenge Series, Word Play Edition #7:

 

Step 1. Start with any word that is NOT a food or a food item, write it down first.

Step 2. Without changing the sequence of its letters, add two more letters either to the front of the word or to the back of the word, forming a word that IS a food or a food item.

Examples:

 Bee + ts = beets

 Nana + ba = banana

    Thank you, great job on the second entry, the first entry, however, is disqualified for not being within the stated guidelines:

    . . . add two more letters either to the front of the word or to the back of the word . .

    Your writing is ambiguous.  You didn't state that the two letters must be used consecutively.

      “Either or” isn’t ambiguous. 


    And people wonder why I go into so much detail in the challenge instructions:

      Ok, I had to look up “coff”.  It’s a Scottish word meaning to purchase or to buy. It’s in.

    My first job after high school was junior quantity surveyor. There were five Scottish lads in the office, I heard the expression a few times. I also got a quaint Glawsegian term, "Yirbumsoothiwindae" - roughly translated, it means "I am not in agreement with your opinions".

    If I had not already assigned Asker’s Pick, you certainly would have earned it.
