I'm in! too bad I'm reading a book right now with a bunch of food in it but I will finish it in October.How about hash browns as 2 words? I think that is the more common spelling.
It's actually easier for me to find the words when they are thematic, any time a food is mentioned I can verify if it's one of these. The hardest words for me to find are the "invisible" ones like "indeed".

I would not have predicted that those two books would have so many food references.

I had lots of food words in October, hardly any so far this month. Even in Louise Penny, meals were described less than usual!
Tessa- Several of my books have recipes at the back of the book. Does it count if buttermilk is only listed there?Thanks

Thanks"
As long as it's not a cookbook, but just recipes added to a story, YES.

You are NOT restricted to one book / one word; you may find as many of the words/phrases in a single book as you like. If you find all the words in one book you are really lucky!
NOTE - you may NOT use the book which is the source for the words in the scavenger hunt!

=============================================================
Unless a variation is specified above, words must match exactly, with the following exceptions: I will accept a plural/singular version, or differences in spelling between British and American English (e.g. honor or honour). But those are the ONLY deviations allowed. So, if you are looking for "vivid" - I will NOT allow "vividly."
All books used must be a minimum of 100 pages long - Page length determined by HARDCOVER 1st edition. If there is no Hardcover, then the most popular paperback governs page #.
You may read in any format - text, audio or e-book. If using audio or e-book I suggest using Amazon’s "look inside" feature to get a page number for your quote.
You MUST finish the book before you can claim credit for finding the word/phrase.
EXAMPLE of a successful post:
ambition - The Sweetness of Water ✔ – 05May22 - pg 247 - "…maintain a sense of ambition."
Have Fun!
