Puzzle Description:

Colonel (Sanders) and Kernel (yes that's popcorn). Did this make you hungry?

#1: Teresa K (fasstar) on Dec 10, 2009 [SPOILER]

I've never had KFC fried popcorn chicken. But here's the recipe, if you want to make it at home yourself:

Very nice image! One of the best of the series so far. :)

#3: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Dec 12, 2009

I disagree with #2... this is THE best in the series. I guess I saw things differently from others (comments in the 26th in your series).

#4: Teresa K (fasstar) on Dec 12, 2009

Thanks, both of you. This was a difficult one for me to create, on both sides.

#5: Jota (jota) on Dec 12, 2009 [SPOILER]

Lots of fun! Thanks! I knew it was going to be the Colonel, but kept thinking chicken and could not figure out what it had to do with "mashed potatoes" "Ice cream" ...

This was a great puzzle to solve. :)

#8: Teresa K (fasstar) on Dec 17, 2009

Hey, thanks, Gator.

I guessed it was the colonel early on because of the great choice of colors. Very nice artwork and a fun one to solve.

#10: Teresa K (fasstar) on Dec 19, 2009

Thanks, Gregg. Good to see you here again. Are you inspired yet to create some more little B&W puzzles for us?

#11: gregg licht (lgreg) on Dec 19, 2009

I hope to...often I plan on creating something but get diverted to solving a new puzzle that appears.

#12: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Dec 25, 2009

Loved it! Very clear images.

#13: Teresa K (fasstar) on Dec 25, 2009

Thanks.

#14: Sallie Wilbur (sarriemom) on Dec 30, 2009 [SPOILER]

Excellent puzzle, Teresa! This was my favorite so far, and the first one I was able to guess halfway through. Both the colonel and the kernel are spot on!

#15: Teresa K (fasstar) on Dec 30, 2009

Thanks, Sallie.

#16: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Nov 14, 2010

i agree with the others about how good this is
excellent job

#17: Teresa K (fasstar) on Nov 14, 2010

Thanks, Bugaboo.

#18: Diana W (aeris) on Apr 16, 2011 [SPOILER]

I saw the colonel early on, but I kept expecting a kernel of (unpopped) corn on the right. The red really helped with recognizing the colonel. Nice job.

#19: Linda Martin (ilovethispuzzle123) on Jun 2, 2011

this is perfect. and now it's my favorite so far in this series. really fun!!!

#20: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on May 25, 2013

recognized it early on...great job, Teresa! and yes, I'm damn hungry!

#21: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Nov 23, 2017

Yeah, instead of homophones, it makes me think of popcorn chicken.

#22: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Nov 23, 2017

Sorry, double post.

#23: CB Paul (cbpaul) on Aug 26, 2019 [SPOILER]

[not looking at previous comment...]
With ca.2/3 of the left done and a circle and partial curve on the right...
The left looks like the KFC guy, Colonel Sanders. So colonel, kernel?
We'll see...

#24: Teresa K (fasstar) on Aug 29, 2019

So far, so good, CB.

#25: Andrew Schultz (blurglecruncheon) on Dec 29, 2023 [HINT]

Cool food-based homophones. One of my favorites of this nice series.

While it may be simpler to use edge logic on the 6 in R22, here's another way. This was a bit tough for me and the helper didn't figure everything out.

Color logic on the 5 in C17. Red at C22R7. Red at C19R8. Black at C28R7. Dot at C26R8.

R11C32/34 are dots. So's R11C31.
