This might be a tougher one, but let's see how it turns out. It made sense, but that wasn't convenient. | ||

(Balin) Cooking food? This Eating food? That's what triggered the line of thought Growing food? No Preparing food? Not really sure about the difference between "cooking" and "preparing" in this context, but I take it that "cooking" refers more to the heating process, so "preparing" might be more suitable. In any case, something about the ingredients is relevant. A certain type (or types) of food? Yes, a certain meal. (Kayleetonkslupin) Potatoes? No, lol (Potatos? ...*always wonders whether to spell it with an e or not*) I always wonder about that, too xD | ||

Never both? Ah, I messed that up, there's a variant with grains only and one with added eggs, but I guess it's now obvious that I meant the pasta anyway xD The Yesish to vegetables, does it mean that vegetables are only used occasionally? No or that you use something that may or may not be classified as a vegetable? There can be varying amounts of vegetable, depending on the recipe, but what I actually mean is something that I suppose wouldn't really be called vegetable by anyone xD | ||

Beware of FA. It's not necessary to determine the exact dish, so your following questions tend to be irrelevant. It's only one of its components that's relevant for this puzzle. Is the dish served with a specific type of meat? Does the type of meat vary? It's meat that is prepared in a certain way, but it can come from different animals. Is the specific type of pasta always the same? Yes Or can it vary? | ||

RECAP (and some help): The other day, while I was eating, I had a train of thought that I assumed didn't make any sense. It had to do with one component of a pasta dish (containing a meat sauce). Said dish had been cooked by two persons (any many, many more, but that's irrelevant), at different times and under different circumstances. I was going to make a LTPF puzzle about how my line of thought was erroneous, but then I found out something due to which it did make sense. For that reason, I had to change the puzzle I originally had in mind and created this one instead. | ||

When you say "the same sauce", do you mean just the same type of sauce? or that the ingredients were the same and in precisely the same amounts? Did it not make sense that they were the same because: One of the ingredients you thought was in the first sauce was no longer available? the sauces were called by different names? the dish overall was prepared in a different style (e.g. ethnic background) each time?

Both persons cooked the dish at different times and under different circumstances (you may want to ask some questions about those two aspects), but while I don't know about Person 1 (who had cooked the dish earlier), Person 2 used a ready-made sauce bought from a store.

So the only thing left to figure out is why you realized that sauce HAD existed at that time? Yes Did something prove to you that it had existed? Yesish or merely showed that its existence was not unreasonable? No Did you recall your parents having bought such a sauce at around the same time as you used to go to that restaurant? No or another product with the same brand? No or did that sauce, or another product with the same brand, appear in advertisements you remembered seeing as a kid? No It's all much, much simpler than that ;-) | ||

Did the description of the dish in the restaurant name the sauce explicitly? | ||

Did you realize it because of a web search? Looking up info in a reference book? Something on the label or packaging of Sauce #2? Anything about the ingredients relevant? And we established the name of the sauce does not matter? Or the packaging? Or the preparation method? We are guessing at why you thought a prepackaged version of the sauce didn't exist when you ate it the first time? And even though that line of thought was wrong (?), it did make some sort of logical sense? | ||

******************* SPOILER ******************* When I was a child (some time in the early 90s), me and my family used to frequent a restaurant in which I often had the pasta on the kid's menu. Some time before posting this puzzle, I had eaten some pasta with a ready-made sauce, the taste of which reminded me of the sauce on the pasta I used to have in the restaurant mentioned above and it made me wonder whether they used the same ready-made sauce back then. But I immediately dismissed the thought because for a reason that I couldn't put my finger on, I thought that the sauce hadn't existed at that time. I was going to post a puzzle about the above, but then I did a web search on the sauce to be on the safe side and it turned out that the sauce has existed "for more than 30 years". Since it already was around back then, it was possible that the restaurant used the sauce, thus my line of thought made sense. However, figuring that out was inconvenient to me because I couldn't post the puzzle I had in mind and had to create a new - this - one. I'm sorry for this puzzle being so confusing. I had expected this to be a tough one but judging what you guys can do, I was certain that you'd be able to solve it and I was right :-) Great work, everyone! |
