Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 'Tikka' normally refers to roasted chunks of a food. I've never heard of a food called bow, so which chart-topping lady was Chef listening to when he came up with "Tikka Bow"?

Answer: Madonna

"Take a Bow" was released as a single in 1994 and became a major hit for Madonna in the US, remaining at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for seven weeks. It didn't do so well in the UK, failing to reach the top ten and ending a ten-year run of 35 top ten hits in the UK singles chart.
2. I am sure no police were harmed in the making of this dish, however can you tell me what British band Chef was tuned into on his iPod when he came up with the mild "Korma Police" curry?

Answer: Radiohead

Korma is a form of curry which in the UK is typically mild and uses coconut as one of the main ingredients.

Alternative rock band Radiohead was formed in 1985 and came to popular attention during the early 1990s. "Karma Police" was from Radiohead's "OK Computer" album of 1997 and achieved commercial success as a single.
3. Chef has come up with an extremely spicy dish called "Rice and Phall". Which British singer inspired this curry dish?

Answer: Craig David

Phall is one of the hotter curries on the menu with a tomato-based sauce involving lots of chili peppers.

This song "Rise and Fall" was a collaborative effort with British musician Sting and reached number two in the UK Singles Chart in 2003. Craig David's debut album "Re-Rewind" came out in 2000.
4. "Baati and Soul". Hmm, that sounds like an interesting jazzy bread to go with my meal. Which recent version of this had Chef's ears humming?

Answer: Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse

Baati is a hard unleavened bread that is sometimes made with fillings. Traditionally, it is eaten with hot dahl.

Released in 2011, this was Amy Winehouse's final recording before her untimely death. At the time, it made Tony Bennett the oldest living artist at 85 years of age to reach the US Billboard Hot 100. The jazz song "Body and Soul" was written in 1930 and has had many versions produced over the years.
5. Whose cover version of this song pulled at Chef's heart strings when he put "Tears on My Pilau" as a side dish on the menu?

Answer: Kylie Minogue

Pilau (or Pilaf) is a rice dish cooked in a spiced stock.

"Tears on My Pillow" was a doo-wop song written in 1958 and first recorded by Little Anthony and the Imperials. A former child actor and soap star, Australian singer Kylie Minogue's 1989 version reached the top spot on the UK Singles Chart in 1990. It was also included in the soundtrack for the 1989 film "The Delinquents", in which she also starred.
6. "Bhuna to Run" sounds a bit of a risky curry to choose from the menu. Who was Chef listening to that day?

Answer: Bruce Springsteen

Bhuna is a cooking style where the spices are fried before the meat is added.

The single "Born to Run" along with the album of the same name, both released in 1975, helped singer song-writer Bruce Springsteen achieve mainstream success. The album peaked at number three on the US Billboard 200 although the single did not fare so well. Although not normally credited on records, Springsteen's E Street Band were the backing band for many of his albums.
7. For one of the starters on his menu, Chef is offering "Bhajji Girl". Hmm. Which Danish dance band was he listening to when he put that on the menu?

Answer: Aqua

Bhajji is a spicy potato fritter-style snack often used as a starter. They are usually mildly spiced.

"Barbie Girl" (1997) did well for Aqua and topped the Singles Chart in the UK for three weeks as well as reaching number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100. In 2000 the song provoked Mattel, the maker of the Barbie doll, to sue for copyright violation all the way up to the US Supreme Court, all of which helped to give the song exposure. The law suits failed. In 2009 Mattel produced its own version of the song for advertising purposes.
8. I've heard of Gooseberry Fool before but not "Dhansak Fool". Whose parody song was Chef listening to when he came up with this curry?

Answer: Frank Zappa

Dhansak is a curry using such ingredients as lentils, vegetables, spices, pumpkin and meat.

You will find "Dancin' Fool" on the 1979 album "Sheik Yerbouti". The song parodied the disco music genre which was prevalent at the time. The song gave him his second highest chart placement in US Billboard Hot 100, reaching 45. Frank Zappa was an interesting person, highly productive and receiving much critical acclaim for his work. The Mothers of Invention acted as his backing band. Zappa died of prostate cancer in 1993.
9. Chef must have been listening to a bit of hard rock to come up with "Rag Dahl". Which long-lasting American band provided the inspiration?

Answer: Aerosmith

In a restaurant, dahl (or dal) is normally a thick pulse-based stew, using pulses like lentils, peas and beans.

Formed in Boston during 1970, Aerosmith started off as a blues-based hard rock band. The 1970s saw them produce a string of Billboard Hot 100 singles and multi-platinum albums. After a hiatus, they regained their popularity during the late 1980s and 1990s. "Rag Doll", from the album "Permanent Vacation", reached number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 during 1988.
10. Ah, Chef has decided to include "Aloo Gobi" on his menu. I recognise that as a potato and cauliflower curry, but who does he owe his inspiration to?

Answer: The Beatles

Spices are mixed with potatoes (aloo) and cauliflower (gobi) for this curry. The turmeric gives it the yellowish colour.

"Hello, Goodbye" was released as a single in 1967 and became the fifteenth of the twenty Beatles singles to top the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also spent seven weeks at the top of the UK Singles Chart. In the US, "Hello, Goodbye" was included in the "Magical Mystery Tour" album of the same year. The UK had to wait until 1973 and the "1967-1970" compilation album (also known as "The Blue Album"). Formed in 1960, the Beatles broke up in 1970 and the 'Fab Four' then put their energies into their solo careers.
