Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the children's action song, the speaker claims to be a little _, short and stout. What is the missing word?

Answer: teapot

I'm a little teapot, short and stout. Here is my handle, here is my spout. I got to know this song very well when my children were young and used to watch "Play School" on telly.
2. In L.M. Montgomery's "Anne of Green Gables", Anne Shirley made a cake and flavoured it with something unfortunate. What did she use?

Answer: liniment

Anne flavoured the cake she was making for Mrs Allen with anodyne liniment. You can read about it in Chapter 21.
3. In L.M. Montgomery's "The Blue Castle" Valancy picks something that is "very kitchenly good indeed" when she takes some home, but which stains her fingers "as pink as Aurora's eyelids" when she eats them in the dell. What are they?

Answer: strawberries

Valancy picks the strawberries in Chapter 30. Montgomery seems to have liked the colour pink; red-headed Anne regretted she couldn't wear it and Valancy not only stains her fingers pink but wears pinkish red clover blossoms as a necklace.
4. What common kitchen liquid can be used as first aid against stinger (sea wasp or jellyfish) stings?

Answer: vinegar

During the stinger season, which is around October to May, some Queensland beaches have bottles of vinegar stowed at intervals for emergency use.
5. How does Pippi Longstocking, Astrid Lindgren's lively heroine, clean her kitchen floor?

Answer: She ties scrubbing brushes to her feet and skates around

Pippi fixes brushes to her feet and skates about. In another kitchen floor incident she sprinkles sugar on the floor and walks on it.
6. What is Beastings custard?

Answer: Custard made with colostrum, or beastings

Beastings custard is made by taking colostrum (the first milk produced by a cow after calving), adding sugar, and baking in a slow oven. It doesn't need eggs.
7. What flower, which is usually blue, but can be pink or white, has a name that is a homonym for a common kitchen substance used in making stove-top gravies, sauces and custards?

Answer: cornflower

Cornflowers are usually blue, and cornflour is commonly used to thicken liquids.
8. What fruit, often found in the kitchen, has a name made up of the name of a tree and a kind of fruit?

Answer: pineapple

Pineapples are not related to pine trees or to apples, but they do look a bit like a large pine cone.
9. What common kitchen substance used to be put on a cat's paws to keep it from straying?

Answer: butter

When moving house, some people used to butter the cat's paws. The idea was that the cat would sit down and clean off the butter, and forget about running back to the old home.
10. Many Australian kitchens have icypoles. What is an icypole?

Answer: Flavoured water ice on a stick

Icypoles are flavoured water ice on a stick. They used to be green, yellow, red or white, but these days they come in all kinds of flavours.
