Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Naan

Naan can be used as a soup bowl, and can be filled with meat, vegetables, and cheese. Other Iranian foods include the national dish of chelo kabab, the stew "khoresht", and a vegetable souffl� named "kookoo".

Answer: Sheep liver

When Togonese people are not eating crazy dishes like these mentioned, they are known to eat saner foods like corn-based meals, grilled chicken, and rice.

Answer: Imqaret

Imqaret is a date-filled pastry that is served hot in Malta. They are usually scented with orange flour and are diamond-shaped. Many are served as street food or desserts at restaurants.

Balbuljata is a scrambled egg dish, fenek is cooked rabbit, and minestra is a thick soup. (But if I was in Malta, I would get the timpani!)

Answer: Cheese

Halloumi was traditionally made with goat or sheep milk, but today you can get halloumi made from cow's milk. Halloumi is similar to mozzarella in color, salty flavored, and garnished with some mint. Cypriots like eating halloumi with watermelon in the summer months, and enjoy grilling halloumi over charcoal grills.

Cypriots also eat a variety of vegetables, seafood, and sampler plates known as mezes.

Answer: Kraft Foods

Since the 1930s, Vegemite has been sold under the Kraft name. Vegemite is very popular in Australia, but surprisingly not as popular in other places. In 2008, Vegemite sold their one billionth jar.

6. As our dinner party went to Bulgaria, I was able to sample some of Bulgaria's best banitsa. What exactly was I eating?

Answer: A pastry

Banitsa is a national dish made with phyllo pastry and filled with cheese, spinach, pumpkin, and meat. Other Bulgarian foods include tarator, moussaka, and yoghurt.

Answer: Shark

H�karl is said to have a taste similar to very strong cheese. The dish usually is eaten with some type of spirit. This definitely rivals with my eating of fruit bats in Palau.

8. Now, we are in the west African country of Burkina Faso. Many of the dishes used in Burkina Faso are based on what major grain crop of the country?

Answer: Sorghum

Sorghum is used in many Burkinabe foods, from t�, a type of stew, to dolo, a type of beer drunk in the country.

Answer: Fried

Falafel can also be made from fava beans. The beans are usually served in a pita, or in another type of flat bread called lafa. Other Saudi dishes include lamb, grilled chicken, and types of tea.

10. We are now heading to the last country on our third 10-day leg, Algeria. What is the name of the bread at the core of Algerian diets and is usually eaten every day?

Answer: Khobz

Khobz, a flatbread much like pita, is usually eaten at every meal.

'Merguez' is a spicy lamb sausage, 'farinata' is a pizza-like pancake, and 'shakshouka' is a fried egg dish.
