The food Yunjin asked is a delicious Turkish meal. The vine leaf which are stuffed with rice then wrapped and finally cooked.
Contenders should have carried a smartphone or a dictionary-:)

I think Fernando won this round. Because Yunjin got in trouble in the first.

I want to buy a liquid, very consumed by football fans in moments of celebrations or even disapointments with their teams. Can be drink cooled, but not with ice rocks.

I see that kitchen utensils are one of the most difficult to describe and guess) I remember once wandering in the supermarket looking for a device that is used to crush (and I literally forgot the key word here which I described to the shop assistant as an vegetable with a strong smell) by moving it through a grid of small holes. It took the shop assistant some time to guess what I needed)

Your word was quite heavy for guessing, but you have put good explanations(vegetable with strong smell-garlic and crushing that vegetable with moving through grid of small holes). I think you have right, maybe this kitchen utensils are most difficult for explanation.

I like things that/which are difficult for explanation. I really enjoy describing them in simple words. In fact, I've got one more question to our English pundits - Jack and Rich: Are there any specific rules for using 'that' or 'which' in sentences like my first one in this comment? Thank you in advance!

Hi Nikosonris - That's a good question. The rules are quite difficult to explain so I'll only write a little here. The words that come after the words 'that' or 'which' are a relative clause - that is, they are related to another clause in the sentence. Here's the rule: If the relative clause defines the subject of the sentence, you should use 'that' (unless it's a person; who, or a place; where). If it doesn't define the clause, you can use 'which' or 'that'. If the clause is defining, it is essential to the meaning of the sentence. If the clause is not defining, it simply offers more information. Here are two examples: Old Trafford is the stadium that has the highest capacity in the Premier League. Old Trafford has a big shop, which is useful if you want to buy a souvenir. Please look at the Learn English (britishcouncil.org/learnenglish) Grammar section and search for Relative Clauses for more information. Which is correct in your comment "I like things that/which are difficult for explanation." ? Can you work it out? Thanks - Jack
