What solid food that isn't normally liquid do you think would make the best drink?

rumor has it that the "meat" at Taco Bell comes out of a hose so I'll go with that, that's my precious slop that I will defend until the day I die
 
Im now trying to decide if the title of this thread is a tautology or not as there are solid foods with the potential of becoming liquid under typically normal means such as ice cream its fine but like thats clearly not what the thread is asking. I believe there is a Strong, and a Weak interpretation..

Strong: Solid foods not normally used to make drinks or beverages. Where is the limit??? An onion is a very common soup ingredient. I think it would be a beverage or an otherwide liquid food where the emain ingredient is the solid food in question. This disqualifies basically all fruits and veg and grains as theyre all used to make juices and alcoholic beverages and other Agricultural Goods.

Weak: Any solid food. In which case my point of juiceable fruits is correct. Oranges arent normally liquid. Theymust be processed to be turned into liquid.. But what about Liquid→Solid→Liquid foods? Such as cheese as mentioned by another Poster. I think these are fine. If the food is a popular category separate from its pre-processed product then its fine. But again there is amibuiguity here. milk to cheese is chemical processing, where as orange to oragen juice is only physical processing. I personally believe the Physical Processing step is also key to the food category (Sashimi is not the same food as a slab of raw fish) but perhaps you dont. I will concede IM ptobrbaly in the minority here in though. What about simple heat processing though?? I think mushroom soup is indisputably a derivative food of mushrooms rather than a differnt category. If you disagree with this fuck you. I can also think of fermented foods where Most would categorise the pre and post fermented product as the same category. Mead is clearly a direct derivative of honey For example (these are both liquids but my professor said I could use it as a taxonomic example.)

"Any solid food that has no liquid food derivative obtained from it purely through physical or non-biotic chemical processing. Fermentation may be allowed on a case by case basis but please be sure to consult with the FDA and ur mum"

To probably better explain my original idea I probably should have said something like "what foods that are non commonly consumed in beverage form would make the best beverage." I couldn't think of a phrasing as good as this one until now and I wanted to like have the responses be more fun than like "yeah that's just commonly consumed beverages food variants (ie most fruits)". Hopefully this helps explain the idea better than I originally did.
