What is it?

Peas n the pods?

Put us out of our misery karadekoolaid!

I guess he got busy and forgot about us!

OK.
I think this was probably Mission Impossible.
These are Flor de Maguey. The flower buds of the Maguey succulent - a cousin of the Agave succulent used to make tequila.
I used to have these plants in my garden, but I eliminated them all. The spines on the leaves used to lacerate my arms every time I tried to clean them.
The plant is used to make cocuy; a Venezuelan version of tequila.
The flowers are used as an ingredient in Andean Hot Sauce. Sweet chiles, hot chiles, onions, peppers, garlic and coriander leaf are macerated in MILK - yes, milk. They`re left to ferment for a couple of months, and the Maguey flower buds are added to the mixture.
I´ve also used them pickled. Simply add vinegar, salt and pepper and then pickle them.

Aren't you the clever one!

Maybe go easy on us and give us another that doesn't take a botanist to figure out.

Yep.
I came across the photo a couple of days ago; but when I saw white tomato soup, I thought " What the heck"
It was an almost impossible picture to identify UNLESS you´d been in South America.

I think Morning Glory made something like that and posted it in this thread several pages back!

That's what he is referring to.

I think it might have been possible to guess the Flor de Maguey with a few more clues. My white tomato soup was guessed in the end - I knew about tomato water through watching programmes like Masterchef the professionals. Also, there are lots of recipes for making it on the internet.

Less so recipes for Flor de Maguey!

They look to me like beansprouts or alfalfa seeds of some sort, or mustard seeds.

The beansprouts seem unlikely because it seems to be in a jar.

Of course, it's a jar, I was seeing it as an odd shaped tray.

So I guess those are mustaad seeds and it's some sort of pickle.

Yes, in a jar and you are both partially correct...
