Fascinating, I know. /s This is interesting to me, though, as my strategy dramatically changed when I have a source and a destination that I personally categorize as relatively similar to each other. For some reason, their names threw me off as well. I am familiar with both of these plants/food items, but I do not eat them very often. I felt that I had to think much more laterally with this task rather than the go out to come back in strategy that I have used in the past. They felt deceptively closer to each other from the beginning, hinting at having much more in common with each other than they actually do. I appreciated the little struggle here.
