Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. It's plain to see that this is the most popular ice cream flavor. What is it?

Answer: Vanilla

Vanilla, a flavoring from the seed pods of vanilla orchids, is the second most expensive spice. (Saffron is the most expensive.)
2. "Wet walnuts" are an ice cream topping that contains walnuts, but what other ingredients make the walnuts wet?

Answer: Maple syrup

Sometimes corn syrup is used in addition to or in place of the maple syrup.
3. A "split" sundae most often consists of vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry ice creams topped with chocolate sauce and strawberry and pineapple toppings served between two halves of what fruit?

Answer: Banana

In the early 1900's, a Boston ice cream retailer came up with a version of a banana split that used unpeeled bananas. Unsurprisingly, people prefer the peeled version.
4. A Peach Melba sundae consists of vanilla ice cream served with peaches and Melba sauce. What is Melba sauce?

Answer: Raspberry sauce

The Peach Melba was created by the French chef Auguste Escoffier in 1892 to honor Dame Nellie Melba, an Australian opera singer. In 1897, Escoffier created Melba toast for her.

A modern version of the Peach Melba sundae uses peach ice cream and Melba sauce.
5. Bananas Foster consist of vanilla ice cream covered in bananas, but how are the bananas prepared?

Answer: They are set on fire.

The dish is often prepared tableside as a flambé. The dessert was created by Paul Blangé in 1951 in New Orleans and named in honor of Richard Foster, the New Orleans Crime Commission chairman at the time.
6. Baked Alaska is an ice cream dessert that is placed in a hot oven. What prevents the ice cream from melting?

Answer: Meringue

The meringue topping insulates the ice cream.
7. This sweet topping might be described as a pourable or spreadable form of marshmallows. What is it?

Answer: Marshmallow Fluff

Marshmallow Fluff is the most popular brand of marshmallow creme, and the brand name is synonymous with the product. One common way to consume marshmallow fluff is in a sandwich with peanut butter, called a Fluffernutter sandwich.
8. What sundae is made with vanilla ice cream, pecans, caramel sauce, and hot fudge?

Answer: Turtle

Caramel is made by heating sugar slowly.
9. What type of cherry is usually placed on top of a sundae?

Answer: Maraschino

Maraschino cherries were originally marasca cherries preserved in the maraschino liqueur made from them, but today they can be any of several varieties of cherries preserved in a brine usually containing red or green food coloring.
10. Fried ice cream is a dessert where balls of ice cream are placed in hot oil. What prevents the ice cream from melting?

Answer: The ice cream is frozen really well and the cook works quickly.

There are Mexican and Asian varieties of this dessert.
11. According to popular belief, why are sundaes called "sundaes"?

Answer: It was illegal to serve ice cream on Sundays.

While we'll never know for sure, many believe that "blue laws" prevented the sale of either ice cream sodas or plain ice cream on Sundays. Eliminating the soda or adding toppings made the dessert legal. When the desserts were served on other days of the week, the spelling was changed.
12. Which city claims to be the birthplace of the sundae?

Answer: All of them

All of them claim to be the birthplace of the sundae, along with several other cities.

However, Ithaca's claim may be the strongest. The oldest documented evidence of a sundae is an advertisement in the "Ithaca Daily Journal" for a "Cherry Sunday" sold by the Platt & Colt Pharmacy, dated April 5, 1892.
13. The most expensive ice cream sundae is served at the "Serendipity 3" restaurant in Manhattan. It's called the "Grand Opulence" Sundae, but how much does one cost?

Answer: $1000

The sundae is 5 scoops of Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream infused with vanilla from Madagascar, covered in edible 23K gold leaf, drizzled with Amedei Porceleana (the world's most expensive chocolate), and topped with chunks of rare Chuao chocolate. There's also candied fruits from Paris, almonds covered in that edible 23K gold, truffles and Marzipan Cherries. Plus it's served with a small glass bowl of grand Passion Caviar, an exclusive dessert caviar.

The sundae is served in a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18K gold spoon and a petite mother of pearl spoon. If that's not enough, it's topped with a gilded sugar flower.
14. What type of cream is usually served on a sundae?

Answer: Whipped Cream

Whipped cream can be prepared by hand using a whisk, or using pressurized containers. When using pressurized containers, the cream is unstable and will re-liquefy in 30-60 minutes, so it should only be used when the dessert will be eaten right away.
15. If you're a fan of ice cream, be careful when ordering a sundae in this country, where it means a kind of blood sausage. What country is it?

Answer: Korea

There is actually a neighborhood called Sundae Town in the South Korean city of Sillim-dong that is famous for the many sundae restaurants.
