Quahog: Native American name for New England hard-shelled clams {makes me think of Family Guy:-)}

Quetsch: Eau de vie made from plums of the same name (pronounced “ketsh”)

Quenelles: 1. Poached oval-shaped fish, chicken or beef patties 2. Food served in an oval shape using two spoons such as ice cream quenelles.

    No T, so it can't be a Tagine…
    Plus Quahogs!
    Pas facile!

    You always make me look forward to Thursdays, I don't know what I am going to do when you run out of letters.

    Moroccan Cusine maybe the Tajine? One of my favorites.

    Il faut deviner quel sera la base de ton plat marocain à partir des mots proposés????
    je dirai des quenelles de poisson ou de viande en tajine (peut-être auront-elles une forme de boulette allongée).
    A bientôt.

    Alright, it looks like I need to intervene. It's not a tagine and does not start with letter P.

    I especially like Quadrillage. Definitely lets you know it's going to be tasty.
