Sweep the entire larder instead of picturing a dinner plate: the chilled counter, the curing room, the drying rack, the pantry jar and the aged-and-pressed cave all hold qualifying entries. Count only a specifically named edible — raw, cured, fermented, pressed or milled — with at least 8 g of protein per 100 g in a nutrition table; vague umbrella words and non-foods are out.

How to approach it

Work the answer space systematically rather than free-associating. Start by listing every aisle a nutrition database covers: freshwater and marine catch, game and offal, pressed and aged dairy, cured and fermented preparations, milled flours and powders, oil-bearing kernels and tree nuts, edible insects, and traditional protein sources from outside Europe. For each aisle, push past the obvious representative toward the regional, the artisanal and the nearly forgotten, because scoring rewards depth of recall, not popularity. Then sanity-check density: anything watery, sugary or mostly fat will miss the threshold, so favour items that are dry, pressed or concentrated. Finally, write the name as precisely as the source would: a specific variety or protected local style beats a broad category every time.

Get a hint

The qualifying set is much broader than any gym-food shortlist: it reaches into every aisle of a food-composition table, including items nobody would serve on their own.

A little more

Ask yourself which entries a nutrition database would log as its own line: the more regional, artisanal or oddly specific the name, the likelier it is to appear and to pay well.

One step further

Favour anything dense once water is gone: pressed and aged preparations, dried or milled powders, small oil-bearing kernels and protein sources from cuisines far outside the Anglosphere. A precise name matters more than fame.

Why these answers count

The distribution is unusually flat at the top: of 3423 scoring answers, 3014 sit at 85 points, 408 at 60, and exactly one reached 100 with Tungrymbai. That shape tells you the game rewards specificity, not fame. The 85-point band is crowded with highly particular names — Abaza, Adyghe cheese, Acai powder, African yam bean, Anchovy paste — each a distinct line item in a food-composition table. They earn heavily because the answer set is built from an exhaustive ingredient database rather than a popularity poll, so an obscure regional cheese or a little-known seed is worth as much as a household staple, and often more than a broad term many players would submit. The 60-point tier collects answers that are correct but coarser or more commonly offered. The single 100-point hit, Tungrymbai, shows the ceiling: a fermented preparation so specific that almost nobody else names it.
