This week I’ve decided to disengage the safety on #WhatsItWednesday. I stumped my Thanksgiving guests with this image. Perhaps m.b. folks can do better.

@cliffordbeshers Looks to me like the heating plate on a drip coffee machine where the heat has destroyed some of the blank surface. The bacon shaped things on top I can’t explain.
@odd Residue after heat is part of it. Not tobacco, not a table. I don’t know what respatex is.
@cliffordbeshers Something burnt on a frying pan or saucepan? The something needs some more thinking.
@Portufraise Yes, somewhere between deeply caramelized and burnt on a pan, but neither frying nor sauce pan.
@cliffordbeshers Respatex is brand name of a laminate (it became synonymous with those products) that was popular in kitchen- and diner tables in Norway especially in the 60s and 70s. I’m sure similar products were available in the US.
@odd Ah, I think I know that by experience, though I've never heard the name. Linoleum for tables.
@Portufraise Metal yes, but a type of pan. The heat source is separate. (And common!)
@cliffordbeshers Pie juice dripped on a sheet pan that was put under a pie plate while baking.
@JeanStylo Right process, wrong ingredient, and there is no paper involved.
@fgtech Ah, so close, I'm going to call it good. It was a butternut squash, and the skin ripped as it was being removed. The fellow who cooked it couldn't figure out what the photo was.
There is one more element. I poured hot water in the pan to soak the sugars off. That's what accounts for the strange halo.
