Small helpings served to carnivores ( 7 )

[janzman]

Morsels

[emperor]

Thanks Janzman.
I can see the size element but carnivores?
I had thought of Cutlet but can't think it's close enough either. Appreciate any comment

[jeffa]

Cutlets is far better because it implies meat, nut cutlets notwithstanding. Morsels just means "small bites", not specifically carnivorous.

iffy titbits

[jeffa]

Again, tidbits doesn't have a meaty connotation.

[Tilly2]

slivers?

[jeffa]

Does sliver even have anything to do with food, though? I've heard of slivers of wood, metal or glass. I suppose you could have a sliver of anything you can carve or plane.

[scorpiojo]

He(pings) lions?

[mallyh]

it does if you are 44 dd lol

[scorpiojo]

^scrap that

[emperor]

What very clever thoughts. Scorpiojo why scrap HELIONS it's really rather clever now that I've found out what it is!

[scorpiojo]

I wasn't sure if I was on the right track, emperor

[jeffa]

This is a usage of helion I've never come across! I've always understood it to mean a meteorite which comes from the direction of the sun.

[emperor]

As I was saying before I hit a wrong button!
I am warming to this Scorpiojo It includes LIONS and HE could conceivably be a shortened 'helping.
Jeffa it's also the Helium nucleus which is pretty small.

[jeffa]

Is it? Well I never knew that! Sounds good.

[scorpiojo]

According to my friend Wikipedia, it's a short name for a doubly positively charged helium ion.

[scorpiojo]

Ooh sorry, crossed posts.

[emperor]

Just going to take break but thanks everyone so far. All thought provoking answers

[emperor]

Can't improve on HELIONS so will mark it as best. Many thanks for such a lot of input.
