My sister made a riddle thingy for fun. I hope you like it:
I may be enjoyed with ice,
but often preferred with fire.I can come with chocolate and crackers,
but it's fine when I come alone.Sometimes I am like a can,
sometimes I am an animal.I am usually spongy and soft,
and smell delightful.But if you ever forget me,
that will no longer be true.What am I?
Note: This is my first riddle. Feedback is appreciated.
I think you are
marshmallow
I may be enjoyed with ice,
you can put some on your ice-cream
but usually preferred with fire.
but they are better as S'mores
I can come with chocolate,
you need chocolate to make S'mores
but I'm fine when I come alone.
but they are good alone as well
Sometimes I am like a can,
usually shape like a can
sometimes I am an animal.
and sometimes as an animal
I am usually spongy and soft, and smell delightful.
well those 2 are obvious
But if you ever forget me, I may not be so good!
if you forget it in the fire, it will burn
if you forget it, it will dry
It could be
tea.
I may be enjoyed with ice,
Iced tea.
but usually preferred with fire.
Tea is usually made with boiling water; boiling comes from heat, originally supplied by fire.
I can come with chocolate,
Chocolate biscuits?
but I'm fine when I come alone.
Ahhh, a nice cup of tea!
Sometimes I am like a can,
A can of tea?
sometimes I am an animal.
Not sure about this.
I am usually spongy and soft,
Teabags or maybe tea leaves.
and smell delightful.
Mmmm, the smell of freshly brewed tea!
But if you ever forget me,
I may not be so good!
Forget a cup of tea for too long and it goes cold and icky.
Another possible answer:
cream.
I may be enjoyed with ice,
Ice cream.
but usually preferred with fire.
Creme brulee (burnt cream).
I can come with chocolate,
Chocolate cream.
but I'm fine when I come alone.
It's nice enough alone, I suppose.
Sometimes I am like a can,
sometimes I am an animal.
Still not sure about these two.
I am usually spongy and soft,
That could describe the consistency of cream.
and smell delightful.
Maybe...
But if you ever forget me, I may not be so good!
Forget cream for too long and it will go rancid and horrible.
