Answer
1. CoffeeClue: This is often considered the 2nd most traded commodity in the entire world!
By most estimations, the only commodity traded in greater quantity than coffee is oil. Coffee was first cultivated in Ethiopia and then spread throughout the Arab world. Throughout Africa and in Yemen, Coffee was even used for religious purposes! Norwegians really enjoy their coffee and Norway is the country with the most coffee consumed per person.
2. Fricassee
Clue: A white stew.
A fricassee is usually made with poultry, but it can also be made with veal, rabbit, and other meats. The meat is stewed in white gravy. Greek fricassee is made with Pork and Cajun fricassee is often made with seafood.
3. Spittoon
Clue: These can be found at the feet of each US Supreme Court Justice.
Spittoons were used in olden times for spitting into. A spittoon can still be found next to each Supreme Court justice, in keeping with tradition. Nowadays, the spittoons are used as trash receptacles.
4. Gazetteer
Clue: A reference for information about toponymy. It is often used in conjunction with an Atlas.
A gazetteer is like a geographical dictionary. It contains information about places and place names. The study of place names is toponymy. Used along with an Atlas, a gazetteer can offer more information about the place. For example, some gazetteers contain information about population and literacy rates.
5. Woollen
Clue: Light, stretchy yarn.
This word is an "Experts Only!" word because it is not the most common spelling of woolen. Woollen yarn is made from wool and is stretchy and full of air. This makes it a great insulating material! Worsted yarn, on the other hand, is not stretchy and does not contain air. Worsted yarn is not a good insulator.
