Several of these irritate me but ultimately evoke a solid

But fuck me playing with the person who came up with these would test my patience.

Pizza, V? I suppose cheese and meats are optional. One can. Some do. If we get into “It has minerals in it!” then we’ll have to argue about what atoms are, so fine, pass.

Guitar (!) Strings, A? I know about catgut, for violens in my mind, but let us wiki it. Huh neat, catgut is intestenal fiber from usually goat or sheep, sometimes cat-tle, but never actually cat. And, while still preferred for concert harps and classical instruments, guitars all mostly switched to steel in the 1900s (and nylon or mixed later). So when was this game printed, how old are you imagined-ghost-of-the-author?

The items all have (A), (V), (M) so I am assuming that’s how they fit in the categories?

And the way they “fit” in those categories seems to be on what they are made of/where they come from, for example a Piggy Bank has (M) because it is made of clay, an Egg has (A) because it is an animal product and so it goes

You’d be guessing for a while before you got that the vegetable was a marshmallow.

Police are pigs, so that works OK.

I got to “Money (notes)” as vegetable and thought to myself “of course, because coins would be mineral,” then saw the Piggybank as mineral and confirmed my logic.

I still don’t understand “dinner service” as mineral? Is it the cutlery?

You’re not wrong, some of those are a stretch.
