Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Falafel and pita
Falafel, which are fried balls of ground chickpeas, originated in Egypt but have since been adopted into Arab, Palestinian, and Israeli cuisine. Falafels are traditionally eaten in a pita with vegetables and tahini (sesame dip) and/or hummus (chickpea dip).
2. Onigiri
Onigiri are Japanese rice balls wrapped in nori (seaweed) and can also be known as omusubi or nigirimeshi. Even though this misconception is common, onigiri are not a type of sushi. Onigiri are usually filled with something like pickled ume or salted salmon. Onigiri are easily portable and eaten by hand, so, for years, they were common as bento food.
3. Foccacia
Focaccia is a type of Italian flat bread, and it can be round, rectangular, or square. It is often flavored with garlic, olives, tomatoes, and/or rosemary, or simply plain. Some consider focaccia to be a variant of pizza, due to its crust-like taste and appearance.
4. Guacamole
Guacamole is a dip made out of mushed avocados. Its roots are in Mexico, but it has since been made a staple of international cuisine. Some optional side ingredients added to guacamole are lime juice, lemon juice, jalapenos, cilantro, and/or onions.
(Personally, I don't like avocados or guacamole.)
5. Biryani
Biryani is one of the most popular dishes of Pakistani and Sindhi cuisine. It is actually quite simple, with the main ingredients being rice; potatoes; some kind of meat, poultry, or seafood; and a variety of spices. Biryani is traditionally eaten with yogurt.
6. Coq au vin
Coq au vin (pronounced "coke oh van") is a French stew of chicken simmered in red wine with potatoes, mushrooms, onions, and sometime garlic. The name, coq au vin, literally means "rooster in wine".
7. Japchae
Japchae is a popular Korean dish which consists of stir-fried glass noodles and vegetables. It was once a royal dish and is now served in celebration of occasions like weddings, birthdays, and holidays. Meat can be used in Japchae, but it is entirely optional.
8. Pelmeni
Pelmeni are dumplings filled with meat and/or mushrooms, and served with sour cream or vinegar. These dumplings originated in either Urals or Siberia, and are known as the heart of Russian cuisine.
9. Baozi
Baozi are Chinese steamed buns, filled with pretty much anything edible, sweet or savory. Baozi are eaten with a variety of condiments, like soy sauce in sesame oil. Other names are bao, humbow, and pau.
10. Eggs Benedict
Eggs Benedict is a popular American breakfast food. It is an English muffin, split into halves, with a poached egg, bacon, and hollandaise sauce on top. It is said that Lemuel Benedict invented this dish in an attempt to cure his morning hangover.
