Graham and I are reading the Hobbit together, and we got to the chapter where Bilbo the Hobbit is trading riddles with Gollum. I read this riddle to him:
A box without hinges, key, or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid.
I thought maybe he could guess this one with a little extra help, so I offered a few more clues. "It's something that you have to break open, and there's a yellow thing inside, and we eat it a lot with bacon." Graham paused for a moment and gave his answer.
"Squash?"
(This one was for you, Grandma, as they love your squash/brown sugar/bacon recipe...)
