The Ragtag Daily Prompt this morning was QUESTION. What a wondrous word this is, cracking open zillions of possibilities. I’ve already used it in my earlier post, but I’ll have another go, this one with a quiz for you.
This is a question for lovers of exotic words. I came across a delicious new word–GALLIMAUFRY–a couple of days ago. Here are some possible definitions. But which is the right one?
a) a Turkish salamander
b) a newly-discovered Australian insect
c) a galette with added cheese, seasoned with comfrey
d) a casserole of leftovers tossed together
e) the caustic rant of a curmudgeon
You can find the answer HERE at M-W or HERE at Lexico
Have fun using it!

Thanks for your comment. Hope you can make use of it. I need it to describe the mish-mash of most of my blog posts. 🙂

I studied the word, dissected it, rearranged it, but nothing appeared so I followed the link and I’m so pleased I did. It’ll be appearing in a piece of mine soon!

I’m choosing “d”–just because another word for it is “slumgullion,” and while they’re not similar (the two words), the word “gallimaufry” made me think of “slumgullion.” Then I looked it up. Looked them both up. 🙂

So you were right, at least historically.
Slumgullion — must look that up — sounds awful, the first part sounding too much like scum. 😉

It’s actually pretty good. Different varieties, but the one most familiar is something we always called “hamburger mac.” Hamburger, macaroni, tomato juice, onions and green peppers, best with a thick layer of cheese. Comfort food 🙂

Forgot to mention chili powder :). But you can spice it up any way you like.
