Basil riddle

[debodun]

Why was the basil sauce always so sad?

 

[Aunt Marg]

Because it didn't speak Italian?

 

[Aunt Marg]

Because it always had garlic breath?

 

[PopsnTuff]

It always sat on the sill of the bay window

 

[Aunt Marg]

Because it had-a no-a balls (meat-a-balls)?

 

[debodun]

Keep guessing. Think of what term applies to a person that is sad frequently. Apply that to a name for basil sauce.

 

[PopsnTuff]

The sauce was de-pressed?

 

[debodun]

You're getting warm, Pops.

 

[PopsnTuff]

The sauce was downcast?

 

[PopsnTuff]

It was all mixed up and feeling green inside?

 

[Treacle]

Because it was treated as a pest ohh?
Have I lost the plot yet? Think Aunt Marg's riddle must have drained the brain cells. ☺

 

[Treacle]

I'm trying again:

because it was Faulty as in Basil Fawlty.

If at first you don't succeed - give up !!!!!!

I'm beginning to think my brain is wired up differently to others!!!!! Might be time for bed

[Kaila]

It couldn't get pasta the spaghetti leaving?

 

[Aunt Marg]

Because the macaroni didn't want to marry the basil sauce?

 

[Kaila]

Because the macaroni didn't want to marry the basil sauce?

That's so sad , you're making me depressed now.

(And I am totally stumped on this one, but thank you to Deb!)
