Excellent quiz, as always. A couple more: "A sailor's wife had chestnuts in her lap" (Macbeth) and "I had rather be set quick i' the earth / And bowled to death with turnips" (MWW).

Thanks--this is a broad category and the source is not as comprehensive as I'm used to so I had to branch out as much as I could. Yours have been added.

Brilliant. And I loved the bonuses, which I wasted about half my time trying to find. How many are there in total? I found 20. I'm guessing there are a range of ridiculous foods that bring up messages like "Now you're just messing with me"? I got it for sushi, and you're right, I was.

I found 18, and I got that message after paprika, I think. My favorite is the bonus for avocado. :) Loved it!

@bazmerelda: There are I think 42 bonuses right now. Although, the paprika/sushi bonus just counts as one. I think that was my only two-in-one. Thanks!

"I pressed me none but such toasts-and-butter, with hearts in their bellies no bigger than pins' heads, and they have bought out their services" (1 Henry IV -- there is also a reference to toast in part 2). Awesome quiz! I have a Ph.D. in Ren lit and I got 91... :D

@angevin: The reference in part II looks like the 'cheers' kind of toast, but toasts-and-butter has been put in. (If it weren't for Falstaff, this list wouldn't be half as long.) Glad you like the quiz:)
@ops: damn, that would've made a great bonus
@simo, @exackerly, @dicko: thanks! the changes have been made and posset along with, um, Edgar's mice and rats have been put in.
If anyone else thinks I'm missing something, type it into opensourceshakespeare.org's keyword search and it will tell you if the word appears anywhere in Shakespeare. Thanks for keeping this thing accurate.

I started adding things from the feast in "Armaments", slothe and fruit bats, and breakfast cereals, but I forgot the anchovies!

As jefe_ said, I missed several things because I typed the singular instead of the plural. About half-way through I discovered what was going on, but really had no way of remembering what I would have needed to type again in the plural. And several items were acceptable as singular. It should be all one way or the other.

@InsertCleverName: "Skim milk, and sometimes labour in the quern/ And bootless make the breathless housewife churn" (Midsummer) and
"...for moving such a dish of skim milk with so honourable an action!" (Henry IV Part One)
And sorry about the 'beef' thing, guys, I've asked for it to be fixed.

I love the bonus answers. I actually only got 'ham' and 'cheese' when typing them in as the prefix to 'burger', trying to get more bonus answers.

Could you accept 'whisky' without the e? Both spellings are widely used.
