Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda: our party decides to taste the national dish of the country, fungie. Most of this dish is made from what?

Answer: Cornmeal

Fungie, along with a spinach soup called pepperpot, is the national dish of Antigua and Barbuda. Fungie resembles the Italian dish polenta, and is often eaten in Antigua and Barbuda in ball form. Other Antiguan foods include seafood, chicken, bananas, pineapples, coffee, and key lime.

Answer: Banana

The plantain is a vegetable-like fruit that resembles the banana and can be found internationally. The largest difference between the banana and plantain is that plantains usually need to be cooked for eating, while bananas can be eaten raw. Other Panamanian foods include empanadas, almojabanas, and tostones.

Answer: Surstr�mming

Surstr�mming is a dish of fermented Baltic herring, which usually has a strong smell, which diners usually would have to eat outside. The fish is often eaten with tunnbrod, or a thin bread. Many people have said that surstromming is an acquired taste, either you like it or you don't.

Artsoppa is a pea soup, Kaldolmar is cabbage rolls, and plattar is pancakes.

Answer: Dill

Due to cultural differences and different languages, dill is refered to several names. Dill is often used in the Lao dish 'mok pa', or steamed fish and banana leaf.

Answer: Spongy bread

Injera is a type of spongy bread, made of a grain called tef. There are many types of tef, which leads to many types of injera, which allows it to be versatile in its use. Other Djiboutienne foods are lentil soups, pineapple, cinnamon, pomegranate juice, and citrus fruits.

Answer: Bulgogi

Bulgogi is sometimes served with sides of vegetable or wrapped in a bread. South Koreans have developed bulgogi into fast-food hamburgers, which are similar to a teriyaki burger in taste.

Tteok is a rice cake, Guksu is a noodle dish, and Yakju is a rice liquor.

Answer: Black-purple

Acai berries can be compared with grapes, but acai berries have less pulp. The fruits are said to have much nutrition value, but several claims have tried to rebuke this statement.

8. As I travel to the tiny country of Liechtenstein in Europe, I notice that most of the meat products sold have an underlining theme. What meat is the mostly used in the dishes of Liechtenstein?

Answer: Pork

Liechtensteiners prepare many meals which include pork, bacon, ham, and schnitzels. Pork is also often used in stews and broths with cornflour dumplings.

Answer: Oranges

Sadza is usually eaten with greens (like spinach), beans and meat, curdled milk (known as lacto in Zimbabwe), or dried Tanganyika sardines. Other Zimbabwean foods include a thin porridge 'bota', pumpkin pap 'isidudu', and a jerky called 'biltong'.

Answer: No

Slovenian foods have many different influences, from Austrian, Hungarian, Oriental, Italian, and Balkan. Many of Slovenian foods are made from animal fat, which makes pork and beef very popular in the country.
