Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Caravane is a cheese made from the milk of which animal?

Answer: Camel

Found mainly in Mauritania, where it is made, Caravane is also available at select outlets in New York, where according to cheese lovers, its taste has "pleasant barnyard undertones".

2. Originating in Quebec, the Canadian dish of French fries, cheese curds and gravy is called what?

Answer: Poutine

Having lived in Canada for ten years, I can vouch for poutine being delicious. Nanaimo bars are a wafer-like layer, topped with custard and melted chocolate while dulse is a seaweed snack, also known as sea lettuce. Jiggs Dinner is very popular in the Atlantic provinces of Canada and consists of salt beef, carrots, potatoes, turnip and cabbage boiled together and mixed with pease pudding.

3. Which Cheese performs with Lounge Against The Machine?

Answer: Richard

Richard Cheese and Lounge Against The Machine perform some brilliant lounge music covers of artists such as Disturbed, Van Halen, Limp Bizkit and Britney Spears in the swing style of Dean Martin.

4. In 2016, which chocolate bar launched a Melon and Cheese flavour in Japan?

Answer: Kit Kat

Hokkaido Melon with Mascarpone Cheese Kit Kat doesn't seem too odd when you consider other flavours available include Okinawa Sweet Potato, Soy Sauce, Wasabi, Ginger Ale and Miso Soup.

5. Since 1953, the Credito Emiliano bank in Italy has been accepting which valuable cheese as collateral against loans?

Answer: Parmigiano Reggiano

Each wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano contains about 550 litres of milk and can be worth around 760 Euros ($900 or �670).

6. In 2015, which cheese won a BAFTA, an Oscar, a SAG and a Golden Globe for her role in the movie "Room"?

Answer: Brie Larson

Brie's actual name is Brianne. She made her name in TV shows "Raising Dad" and "United States of Tara." Please forgive me the puns for the other names. I had a moment of weakness.

7. According to Merriam-Webster, what is the correct term for a cheese connoisseur?

Answer: Turophile

Turo comes from the Ancient Greek, turos meaning cheese.

8. In Homer's "Odyssey", which cheese maker did Odysseus meet, describing his cave thus; "So we explored his den, gazing wide-eyed at it all, the large flack racks loaded with drying cheeses, the folds crowded with young lambs and kids... And all his vessels, pails and hammered buckets he used for milking, were brimming full with whey."

Answer: Polyphemus the Cyclops

Polyphemus was the giant son of Poseidon and Thoosa, with a taste for man flesh. Odysseus and his men escaped his clutches by first blinding him and then hiding beneath his sheep as he let them out to graze.

9. In Monty Python's "Cheese Shop" sketch, what is the name of the shop owner?

Answer: Mr. Wensleydale

In the original sketch, 43 different cheese are asked for including the fictitious Venezuelan Beaver Cheese. Another fictitious cheese, Zimbabwean Rhinoceros Milk Cheese was added in later live versions.

10. The world's most expensive cheese is Pule from Serbia. From which animal does the milk come?

Answer: Donkey

There are only 100 donkeys used for milking at the Zasavica Special Nature Reserve in Serbia, and each is milked three times a day. 25 litres of donkey milk is required to make just one kilo of the cheese which sells for �1000 per kilo ($600 per pound). The nature reserve uses the money to help with conservation work.
