Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Creme Brulee, Savarin, Clafoutis, Madelaines, Tartes aux Pommes. What part of a meal are these delicious French dishes?

Answer: Desserts

Most of these desserts have no exact translation in English. Creme brulee is like a pudding caramelized on the top. Savarin is a type of very moist cake. Clafoutis are similar to a cobbler. Madelaines are cookies and tartes aux pommes are a type of apple pies. Bon appetit!

Question by player Babilonia

2. This edible fruit is rich in potassium. It is long and green, but sometimes its skin is yellow. What is the name of this fruit?

Answer: Banana

The banana plant is the largest herbaceous flowering plant. When a banana plant is mature, the corm stops producing new leaves.

Question by player tritran5555

3. A spicy hot dish made with coconut, vinegar and lots of hot red chili peppers, pork vindaloo is traditionally from what country?

Answer: India

I first heard of the dish watching one of my favorite British television shows "Red Dwarf". The dish can be made with just about any type of meat, and to various degrees of spiciness depending on how many and which peppers are used. The vindaloo recipe was first made with pork, but has been adapted over the centuries.

Question by player Shadowmyst2004

4. What tea, named for a 19th century Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, is flavored by the oil of the bergamot orange?

Answer: Earl Grey

Earl Grey did not himself invent the tea, but likely instead received it as a diplomatic present. Although the Earl is best known for tea, his four years as Prime Minister also saw the British Empire (mostly) abolish slavery and greatly expand the right of men to vote (it would take another 80 years before women received the franchise).

5. Would you want to marry the founder of a prank company? When S. S. Adams' wife nagged him about keeping the jam jar lid screwed tight, Adams took his revenge by inventing which prank?

Answer: Spring Snake Jar

His wife let out a stentorian scream, which instantly told Adams that he had a new classic on his hands. And classic it is! Can you believe that the humble spring snake prank has been with us since around 1915? And it is truly in keeping with Adams' philosophy on what makes a great prank: "The best idea is to work with an ordinary everyday object which is around the house."

Question by player pu2-ke-qi-ri

6. What fast food chain uses the ad slogan "Have it your way"?

Answer: Smucker's

Jerome Monroe Smucker began selling apple butter in 1897 from a horse-drawn wagon. Some other slogans used for Smucker's fruit spreads include, "Smucker will make you pucker!" and "There ain't no place like Smucker's!"

Question by player Ted_Striker

9. In the game of Scrabble (UK version) how many points are the letters "V" and"W" worth?

The letters "V" and "W" are worth 4 points each. The only letter that is worth 5 points is the letter "K". The letters "P", "B" and "C" are worth 3 points and the letters "D" and "G" are worth 2 points.

Question by player scarlet1977

10. Which dense candied cake was known to the Romans and is used in modern weddings all over the world? It is often soaked in spirits and served without icing.

Answer: Fruit cake

Made with dried fruit, nuts and spices, fruit cake may be soaked in rum (Bahamas) or other spirits. Currants, sultans, and cherries may be added, or decorations added for holidays (UK). Germany makes a famous Christmas "Stollen", including zest and almonds. Tradition in Canada freezes a wedding day cake, to be eaten at a later anniversary.

The ancient Romans used pine nuts and pomegranate for this rich, heavy cake.
