OK, this one may or may not be fair, but I swear it is cocoa bean and homemade chocolate related. And something I've been meaning to address for some time. So, give it a go, and I'll use it a spring board a little later.

Well, that was indeed the wheels of the Santha with product on them. The 'trick' if there was one was that it was not chocolate. It was praline. Some time ago I read in The Cake Bible that it just was not possible to make Praline at home - that it was not possible to get it smooth enough. Sound at all familiar? Well, I just had to try it, and to my mind, it IS fully possible to make home made praline. Here is the whole batch.
One of the references I found to praline was that it used caramelized sugar. I was going to use this as a Macro guessing photo, but I felt it was too obscure, so here is just a shot of the caramelized sugar, after it was cooled, and I broke it.
I also tried a batch with just straight granulated sugar and to my tastes, found out I liked it better. I'll be putting the whole recipe and procedure together, but if you can make chocolate, this is child's play. Roast, no cracking or winnowing, grind and refine and Bob's your uncle. Home made praline.
Brad and Chad had it right. It is indeed the teeth on the cutter wheel on the Champion. On that note, have a look at what a few hundred pounds of chocolate will do.
If your cutter wheel is looking like the one of the left, you might want to pick up a new one. Yes, I have them over with the Champion Juicer.
Good luck on the next photo. It just has character. To me it is obvious, but you have to tell me if it is or not.
Well, Mike had the exact right answer. It is the hinge to the Behmor roasting basket
.
Try this one on for size.
Yep, part of something used here for making chocolate.
I mentioned a little bit ago I wanted to put up something a little fun. It's a game a photographer friend of mine suggested that I have had a lot of fun with. It's basically to identify the item in the photo. The trick? It's an extreme close up or a 'Macro'. In this case it will always have to do with cocoa, chocolate making, etc. Here is the first one.
So, what is it? Post your reply. Recognition to the first right answer. I will post the full size picture next Monday along with a new Macro.
