From Quiz Thank You For Not Smoking

Answer: Salmon

Salmon fillets are smoked and most often sliced very thinly. Add a drizzle of freshly squeezed lemon juice and you are good to go. My birthday treat for many years has been scrambled eggs on buttered, thick wholemeal toast and topped with smoked salmon. Tip: Do NOT tell children that it is essentially raw fish, if you want them to eat it. If you want to eat it all yourself, then do tell them!

From Quiz Making Chili With Salami

Answer: Olive oil

EVOO, a term coined by Rachael Ray, is an abbreviation for extra virgin olive oil. I prefer using olive oil over butter, margarine, or lard, when making chili because it doesn't give the chili an odd taste. The olive oil also acts as one of the many liquid elements of the chili. This is good because the olive oil becomes infused with flavors during the cooking process that make the liquid delicious.

From Quiz Eat, Drink and Be Marry

Answer: Caramel sauce

Bem casados means happily married in Portuguese so it is fitting that this is a traditional cookie served at a Brazilian wedding. This delicious treat is made up of two small sponge cakes joined together by a dulce de leche (caramel sauce) and egg curd or jam. These cookies are individually wrapped and a bow is then tied around them. Guests receive these as a favor at the end of the wedding celebration. Popular beverages include white wine, red wine and a wine called Vinho Verde, meaning green wine, but it isn't green at all. A green wine means that the wine must be drunk when it is young and not aged.

From Quiz Selected Cuisine and Beverages: Korean Style

Answer: Kimchi

Kimchi happens to be one of those Korean words that is relatively widely known. It is generally made from fermented cabbage and red chili pepper.

From Quiz The Demons' Favourite Food

Answer: Vegemite

Good old Vegemite - where would Australians be without this delightful treat that people of other countries recoil from in horror on first sampling its taste? It was invented in 1922 by Dr Cyril Callister because imports of Marmite from Britain were held up following World War I. Following an Australia wide contest to select a name for this tasty treat, the product was registered as Vegemite in 1923 - and has been going strong ever since. You can eat it with almost anything apart from those listed in the question - apples, tomatoes, bananas, baked beans, meat, vegetables - just to name a few. (Question and additional information supplied by Creedy, The Vegemite Kid)

From Quiz Locomotive Cuisine

Answer: Lamingtons and pavlova

The Ghan is the luxury Australian passenger train that runs through the centre of Australia from the south coast at Adelaide to the north coast city of Darwin. The four and half day journey gives plenty of opportunities to sample an iconic Australian dish or two. If you are a lover of sponge cake, chocolate and coconut, then lamingtons are for you. There is much controversy in Australia as to the history and composition of lamingtons, so much so that Maurice French, an Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Queensland, wrote a whole book on the subject called "The Lamington Enigma". The usual recipe calls for squares of butter or sponge cake, rolled in chocolate and then coated with desiccated coconut. The first printed recipe for "lamington cake" was published in the "Queensland Country Life" issue of 17 December 1900 and it was named either after the governor of Queensland, Lord Lamington, or his wife. What is certain, is that this delicious treat has become an Australian favourite, so much so that 21 July every year has been designated National Lamington Day. Pavlova is the delicious combination of slow baked crunchy meringue with a moist centre that is then topped with sweetened whipped cream and fresh seasonal fruit. It is so good that its creation has been claimed by both Australia and New Zealand. The exact time and place of that creation is a hotly debated question in both countries. What is known that it was created in honour of the famous Russian ballerina, Anna Pavlova, in the 1920s during one of her tours of the region. What is also certain is that this dessert has become a firm favourite and is regarded as a national dish by both countries.

From Quiz Diets - For Better or Worse

Answer: Cabbage

The 'Cabbage Soup Diet' is another very old diet suggestion. Aficionados get to eat cabbage soup three times a day for a short period of time. With some variations cropping up occasionally, the very low calorie nature of the soup will result in weight loss, but at a price: bloating and gassy emissions don't make you a popular person to be around.

From Quiz I'll Be Home for Christmas Dinner!

Answer: A kind of cake

"Kuchen" is just a German word for "cake" but to Germans from Russia who settled in the prairie and great plains regions of Canada and the US, it's a specific kind of custard cake, usually with fruit such as rhubarb or plums, sometimes with cottage cheese. In our house, it was only made at Christmas. My ethnic community, sometimes known as Black Sea Germans, emigrated to Russia during the time of Catherine the Great. For the most part, they kept their own language and religion, and settled in small tightly knit groups. By the late 19th century, conditions were not so favourable, and they left for North America in large numbers.

From Quiz In a Bit of a Pickle

Answer: Piccalilli

Piccalilli is traditional British pickle made from a variety of vegetables and flavoured with mustard and turmeric. The main vegetables found in Piccalilli are cauliflower, gherkins and onions although this can vary.

From Quiz What the Devil Had for His Dinner

Answer: Underwood's Deviled Ham

The William Underwood Company (founded in Boston in 1822) began to market deviled ham in 1868. A canned meat spread was created by finely grinding ham and seasoning it liberally with spices. Difficulty with spoilage was resolved by a collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) from 1895 to 1896. Early on the company used a red devil logo to identify and advertise its product. This trademark was registered in 1870 and Underwood claims that it is the oldest food trademark in use in the US. The term "deviled ham" cannot be copyrighted nor trademarked, thus there are other products made and marketed as deviled ham by other companies.
