Which of these new kinds of food would you want named after you?

@evan an espresso drink
@benbrown so, there *has* to be some kind of shoe or tap dance step or bowler hat called a "Ben Brown" already?

️ a new superfood that in 15 years time will have been discovered as the cause of a strange brain disease -

@benbrown well, I stand corrected. The field is wide open! Although this Ben Brown (blogger) fellow sounds interesting...

@evan fruit! I'd probably be allergic to it for maximum irony.
-
@evan I'm shocked at all the deli sandwiches! No way.
@maj I was too and I wonder if it has something to do with the psychology of having to make a choice where you have no clear preference.
I didn't feel motivated to choose any of them so I was about to choose the first one by default, but went "No, don't just pick the first one because you're lazy. Everyone else will do that."
So I picked the next one.

@sysop408 @evan As an information architect I constantly warn clients about the "Aardvark effect" where users will just default to the first item e.g. in a list of tags for content publishing.
Counter this with the wine list effect, where everyone picks the second-to-most cheap wine to the point that restaurants list the one they want to offload there.

@evan I feel you have more of an option for legacy if you go fruit. A deli sandwich is ephemeral but a kumquat is forever.
-
@evan A range of gluten-free sandwiches that don't fall apart as I eat them and don't feel doughy or sandy.

@evan I'm a dessert man, myself.

@evan Possibly the toughest poll I've ever had to do.

@evan A recently discovered exotic fruit on the condition that it was only exotic to everyone else in the world and entirely commonplace where I live - my contribution would be discovering that it is edible. Then some clever person decides to name it after me ... Hm, the more I think about it, I get cold feet.
