RULES

There are three puzzles, each sets of seven clues. On the first day, I'll release one clue for each puzzle. The three puzzles range from easy to hard and you have to find the thing that connects the clues. If you think that you know the answer, put it in the comments and I'll tell you if you're right. If you want to figure the puzzles out yourself, don't open the comments. This is for fun. Clues will be added around 5:00 PM UTC/12:00 PM EST/9:00 AM Pacific daily. You can guess once after each clue is added and all guesses after that will be ignored.

ANSWERS (spoilers!)

1. misleading names

Colonial goose is lamb leg, elephant ears and bear claws are both pastries, pork butt is the shoulder of a pig, black pudding is a sausage, buffalo wings are a flavor of chicken wings and Rocky Mountain oysters... well, search them up at your own risk. They are not oysters.

2. named after capitals (past and present)

LONDON broil, Pecorino ROMANO, Crab RANGOON, PARIS ham, BERLINER, LIMA beans, PEKING duck

3. national dishes of multiple countries (I accepted national dishes)

Poulet moambe (Angola, DR Congo, Republic of the Congo), harees (United Arab Emirates, Armenia), ugali (Kenya, Tanzania), pavlova (Australia, New Zealand), borscht (Russia, Ukraine), couscous (Algeria, Morocco), kimchi (North Korea, South Korea)
