0) Animal
1) Is it an animal we would think it normal to eat (at least here in the UK)? Other parts of the same kind of animal would be considered normal to eat in some parts of the world, but not in other parts. I don't know about the UK, though. As far as I know, this particular part is not normal to eat anywhere.
2) Is the animal a mammal? Yes.
3) Is the animal domesticated? Yes.
4) Is it a dog's tail? No.
5) Is it (i.e. the animal) carnivorous? No.
6) Oh Yay! Is it (the entire animal) bigger than a breadbox? Yes.
7) Would the whole animal feature in a Ffordian Panto? No reason why not, unless it is too exhausted.
8) Does the animal have hoofs? Yes.
9) Are we talking about the animal's coat? No.
10) Is it alive? Yes, provided that it exists.
11) Does it exist? I would say no, but many children, especially in America, would probably say yes.
12) Does it have big feet? Well, for the size of its body, yes.
13) Does it have antlers? Yes.
14) I think that we have the animal - now to hunt for the part! Yes, I think so!
15) Is it Rudolph's red nose? Yes.

Congratulations, Annie! Your turn!

Congrats, Annie, I was thinking a jackalope!

(I quite like reindeer, but prefer Bambi(venison) to Rudolph. Springbok is also o.k. Perhaps Martin can tell us of some cute cartoony ones?)

5) are we looking for a protein?

That's better, I expect to be confused by the time we get to question 5, being confused from 0 was making me feel a little inadequate.

Too bad ice isn't "Technically Animal". Hmmm. "While it lasts..."
Hmmmm.
Yeah, I'm confused, too.
So: Is it bigger than a breadbox?

6) Is it bigger than a breadbox? Cumulatively, yes but it would depend on the size of the host
