From Quiz I Can Believe I Ate The Whole Thing!

Answer: Durian fruit

Andrew Zimmern tried to eat Durian fruit on a couple episodes of Bizarre Foods, but had to spit it out due to the foul odor.

From Quiz Eat, Drink and Be Marry

Answer: Ability for a couple to heal their difficulties

The Igbo tribe from southern Nigeria commonly use kola nuts for medicinal purposes. These nuts are high in caffeine and, when chewed, they ease hunger as well as provide energy to the consumer. This common staple in a bride's dowry is also presented at weddings to symbolize the couple's ability to heal differences within their marriage. The wedding is not considered to be complete until a kola nut has been shared between the groom, bride and parents of both.

From Quiz Selected Cuisine and Beverages: Korean Style

Answer: unstrained rice wine

Makgeolli has often been touted as a healthier beverage than comparable alcoholic drinks. It contains beneficial bacteria, vitamins and fiber. It is usually served from a bowl in order to keep the ingredients from separating. Its milky consistency doesn't really resemble typical wines, but "rice wine" is the most popular translation of this popular beverage.

From Quiz A Cold Day in Hell

Answer: Cheesecake

Cheesecake comes in many varieties, but for this hot and cold dessert, plain New York style works the best. First, freeze cubes of cheesecake (you can cut your own cubes, but pre-cubed can be purchased and is infinitely easier). Make sure you freeze them well, so they won't fall apart. Put them on sticks, just as you would do with a marshmallow to makes s'mores. You can even place the sticks before freezing to make it easier. The final step is roasting; do not keep the cheesecake over the flame for too long, or you will lose your dessert to the fire. If done correctly, you will have a square of hot and gooey and smoky cheesecake with a cool, creamy center. Delicious!

From Quiz Eat Drink and be Mary

Answer: Cookie dough crust filled with custard and raisins

This is a recipe from Mary of Guise, wife of Britain's King James V and mother of Mary Queen of Scots. Mary was originally from Lorraine, which likely explains the similarity of this dish to a sweet quiche. It is made with a base crust of raw puff pastry, spread with base layer of apricot jam, and filled with a custard of eggs, milk and melted butter to which raisins and mixed candied fruit have been added. Then the whole thing is baked. Check out the website scot.veg.com for more details.

From Quiz The Macabre Menu of Monstrous Manor

Answer: Stuffed prunes

"Devils on Horseback" are appetizers typically made with pitted prunes, but dates or liver (which is truly diabolical) have been known to substitute. The procedure entails the items being stuffed with tidbits (e.g., nuts, cheese), wrapped with bacon slices, then baked, and may be served with toast and watercress. In contrast, at Chez No, bacon has a shelf life of 10 seconds, prunes 100 years, liver 100 million years, and watercress has been declared an extinct species, so these denizens of the dining table are unlikely to appear in the immediate vicinity spreading their festive cheer.

From Quiz Diets - For Better or Worse

Answer: No more than 100 calories

Fourteen jars of baby food followed by a small adult evening meal is the daily recommendation of this particular diet. The baby food jars are portion controlled, and small portions at that. They can be quite bland as they are generally under-seasoned for an immature palate. They are also designed for the energy and nutritional needs of well.. babies! Consequently they can be low in protein and fat for adults. The possibility of choosing all the baby 'desserts' rather than the 'dinner' varieties will also impact nutritional benefits.

From Quiz Foods That Fill Me With Joy

Answer: Sriracha

Sriracha consists of chilis, garlic, salt, sugar and vinegar. I've found it to pair well with waffles, chips, burgers and all sorts. In the world of hot sauces, it is not that hot, but to my taste buds it is plenty hot enough. Though sriracha contains a lot of sodium, and is not the healthiest of foods, chili peppers (and all the spicy foods and sauces that contain them) are thought to help boost your immune system, and have lots of other benefits.

From Quiz In a Bit of a Pickle

Answer: Beni Shoga

Beni Shoga is pickled Japanese ginger. In Japanese "Beni" means red and "Shoga" is ginger. Beni Shoga is a type of "Tsukemono" which is the Japanese word for pickle. It is made by cutting the ginger into thin strips and pickling it in plum vinegar known as umezu which is a by-product of making pickled plums. This produces a bright red spicy pickle with is used as a garnish on a variety of dishes.

From Quiz What the Devil Had for His Dinner

Answer: stuffed prunes wrapped in bacon

Angels on horseback is a colloquial name for grilled oysters wrapped in bacon. The correlative devils on horseback is a similar dish, replacing the oysters with prunes, sometimes stuffed with cheese and/or minced nuts. Variations include substituting prosciutto or pancetta for the bacon. If dates are substituted for prunes, they may first be soaked in brandy. There is much disagreement about the source of the name "devils on horseback." Much of it is amateur, fanciful or both. A mention in "The Country Gentleman" magazine in 1885 says it is because they are served quite hot and hell is reputed to afford a hot climate. The reason for the British association between devils on horseback and Christmas dinner is similarly unclear.

From Quiz Don't Eat Me. I'm Rotten.

Answer: No, commercial pickles use heat and vinegar to preserve instead of fermentation.

Commercial pickles are made by using heat and vinegar. The heat first to kill any bacteria and then the vinegar to create an environment that the bacteria cannot thrive in and thereby preserving them. Traditionally, however, pickles were indeed made by fermentation, in a similar method to sauerkraut or kimchi. This process would use brine instead of vinegar, which suppresses the harmful bacteria and allows the probiotic bacteria to thrive resulting in a salty and slightly acidic preservation solution.
