Shetland Ponies, from the Shetland Isles off the coast of Scotland continue as a popular breed of pony, although they are also possibly the oldest breed in Great Britain. They are the strongest equine relative to their size.

10. Corallin, a very red dyestuff, would not make a good ice cream flavor.

Answer: vanilla

Corallin and Maroon are both coal-tar dyestuffs. The waste products of coal from coking plants supply the raw material for synthetic "coal tar dyes", whose production became possible in 1856. These low-cost dyes relovutionized the textile industry. Vanilla is indigenous to Mexico, where it is pollinated by tiny humming birds and a bee.
