Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Anderlecht, Berlaymont and Grand Place

Answer: Brussels (sprout)

Anderlecht is one of nineteen municipalities in Brussels, others including Schaerbeek, Koekelberg, and Bruxelles-Ville in the city centre. It is home to RSC Anderlecht, one of the top soccer teams in Belgium.

Brussels is home to many European Union buildings used as offices, archives and meeting venues, but it is at Berlaymont that you can find the headquarters of the European Commission.

Grand Place, or Grote Markt, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the centre of Brussels. The large city square is surrounded by buildings built in the Baroque, Gothic and Louis XIV style. It is home to the town hall and a building called the Breadhouse (Broodhuis), home to the Museum of the City of Brussels.

(It is believed sprouts were grown in Ancient Rome, but the first recording that they were associated with Brussels was mentioned in the 13th century. They disappeared for a while and then reappeared in the 16th century when they were cultivated in large quantities and taken to market in Brussels from the low countries of Belgium.)
2. Funchal, Pico Ruivo and Cabo Girao Skywalk

Answer: Madeira (cake)

Funchal is the capital of Madeira and nestled within a natural amphitheater along the Atlantic coastline to the south of the island. The name is taken from the Portuguese word "funcho" which means fennel. The herb can be found growing abundantly on the island and is used to make traditional Madeiran fennel sweets.

Pico Ruivo is the highest peak on Madeira. Standing at 1,862 meters high, the craggy hilltop is in the centre of the island and if the weather permits, you can see from coast to coast if you stand at the top.

At the time it opened in 2012, the Cabo Girao Skywalk became the highest cliff skywalk in Europe. With its glass bottomed viewing deck, you can look down 500 meters below to where crashing waves thunder against the rocky coastline.

(Madeira cake is a rich sponge flavoured with orange or lemon. The cake did not originate from the island of Madeira, but the upper echelons of high society in Victorian England. A slice of the rich cake would be served during the afternoon with a glass of fortified Madeira wine.)
3. Royal Alcazar, the Giralda and Guadalquivir River

Answer: Seville (orange)

Royal Alcazar was a palace built by the Moors in the 1160s for Pedro the Cruel of Castile. This UNESCO World Heritage Site can be found in the centre of the city and is surrounded by manicured gardens. It includes the Courtyard of the Maidens with its many arches and a rectangular reflecting pool in the centre.

The Giralda is a 103 meter high bell tower which was previously a minaret. Built in 1195, it is topped by a weather-vane of a female statue representing faith. The name "giralda" means "she who turns".

Guadalquivir River is one of the longest rivers in Spain, rising just to the north of the Sierra Nevada, and flowing south for 657 kilometers until it empties into the Gulf of Cadiz. It travels through the cities of Cordoba and Seville on its journey.

(Oranges are grown throughout the Mediterranean, but there have always been many citrus groves around Seville. Legend said that the 11th Labour of Hercules was to steal the "golden apples" from the Garden of Hesperides, believed now to be in modern day Seville.)
4. Buttertubs Marsh, Newcastle Island and the Bastion

Answer: Nanaimo (bar)

Buttertubs Marsh is a 100 acre bird and wildlife park in the centre of Nanaimo, British Columbia. With its many trails and observation decks, you can take a close up view of Canada geese, bittern, widgeons and hooded merganser, just to name a few avian breeds.

Coal was discovered on the island in 1849, but today Newcastle Island is the location of a relaxing provincial park. A ten minute ferry ride can take you from the busy city to the quiet island with its hiking trails, campsites and visitor centre.

The Bastion is a three story fortification built in 1853 to protect coal workers from marauding enemy tribes. Made from thick timber and a clay roof, it provided the town with offices, prison space and an armament including two six-pounder cannons.

(The no-bake treat consisting of a crushed graham cracker and coconut base, custard filling and chocolate ganache topping originated from Nanaimo during the 1950s. They were often called "Mabel bars" after Mable Jenkins, a women who submitted the first recorded recipe to her local Women's Institute.)
5. Ghum, Observatory Hill and Happy Valley Estate

Answer: Darjeeling (tea)

Ghum is a small village just south of Darjeeling in West Bengal. It is home to a Buddhist monastery and also the highest railway station in India at an altitude of 2225.7 meters above sea level.

Observatory Hill is an observation point in Darjeeling with far reaching views across to the snow capped Kangchenjunga, the third highest mountain in the world, and just 128 km to the east of Mount Everest.

The Happy Valley Tea Estate is one of many tea gardens in Darjeeling. The estate was established by Englishman David Wilson in 1854. Visitors can walk around the gardens and watch tea being processed. 87 tea estates are recognised in Darjeeling, the oldest being Steinthal, with Happy Valley the second oldest.

(Darjeeling tea has been described as the "champagne of teas" and their origin stems back nearly two hundred years ago (in 1841) when seeds were smuggled out of China.)
6. Fountains Abbey, the Shambles and Top Withens

Answer: Yorkshire (pudding)

Fountains Abbey was formerly a Cistercian monastery, and the remains standing today are the best preserved in England. Founded in 1132 by Benedictine monks, it was closed down in 1539 due to the Dissolution of the Monasteries ordered by Henry VIII. It remained in private hands until 1983 when it was sold to the National Trust.

The Shambles is a shopping area in the city of York, known for its narrow cobbled streets and medieval timber-framed houses. "Shambles" refers to an outdated word meaning "slaughterhouse", as at one time there were up to 25 butcher shops along the same street.

Top Withens is an area of beauty and home to a derelict farmhouse on the windswept West Yorkshire moors, approximately five km south-west of Haworth. It is believed to be the inspiration for the Emily Bronte novel, "Wuthering Heights".

(Yorkshire pudding is a savoury batter and traditionally served with roast beef. The exact origins are unknown but it was first mentioned in a 1747 cookbook written by Hannah Glasse called "The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Simple".)
7. Granary Burying Ground, Emerald Necklace and Charles River

Answer: Boston (cream pie)

Founded in 1660, the historic Granary Burying Ground is situated on former common land in the heart of Boston, Massachusetts. It is estimated that around 5,000 people have been buried at the site, the most notable being Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and Robert Treat Paine who all signed the Declaration of Independence and patriot Paul Revere.

The Emerald Necklace consists of an area of nine continuous parks in Boston. It was designed in the late 19th century by landscaper Frederick Law Olmsted, who also helped design Central Park in New York. The park contains green spaces and waterways within 1,100 acres of land.

Charles River is 129 km long from its source in Hopkinton to the Atlantic Ocean. As well as flowing through the centre of Boston, it also bypasses Harvard University, one of the best known education and research institutes in America.

(Parker House Hotel first put a "Pudding Pie Cake" on their menu in 1856 and over the years its name evolved to Boston cream pie. The custard-cream filled cake is topped with chocolate and served in large wedges.)
8. The Shuk, City of David and Shrine of the Book

Answer: Jerusalem (artichoke)

The Shuk is an alternative name given to Mahane Yehuda Market, a favourite shopping area in Jerusalem for locals and tourists. It sells clothes, housewares, art, flowers and fresh food, as well as being popular for its restaurants and nightlife. The market dates back to the Ottoman Empire when peasants would bring their produce to sell at a central location in the city.

The City of David is an ancient archaeological site in Jerusalem. It attracts many tourists as it is where King David established his city, and it links many events that were mentioned in stories of the bible. The ruins contain houses, pathways, underground water tunnels and city walls.

The Shrine of the Book is a dome-covered building which is part of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. It is most famous for housing the Dead Sea Scrolls; biblical and non-biblical manuscripts including texts from the Hebrew bible that were discovered between 1946 and 1956. The best preserved of all the biblical scrolls is the Isaiah Scroll.

(The Jerusalem artichoke is a root vegetable that is native to North America. It has a large yellow daisy-like flower which resembles a sunflower. It is believed the plant originated in Italy, and the Italian word "girasole", meaning sunflower, later became corrupted to "Jerusalem".)
9. Gardens by the Bay, Changi Airport and the Southern Ridges

Answer: Singapore (sling)

Gardens by the Bay is an area of reclaimed land which has been turned into an place of natural beauty in the heart of a metropolis. Work began on the park in 2007 and it has since turned into three gardens consisting of Central Bay, Bay East, and Bay South, the latter with its flower dome and amazing garden forest. The park can be located near the Marina Bay area of Singapore.

Changi Airport is the main airport which serves Singapore. It is a central hub where people travelling from the west can travel onwards to all over Asia. It first opened in 1981 and is estimated that over 55 million passengers pass through its doors each year.

Southern Ridges is a national park in the south of Singapore. There are 10 km of trails, most of which can be accessed using interconnecting walkway bridges above the forest floor, with far reaching views across the city sky-line.

(Singapore Sling is an alcoholic cocktail which contains gin, pineapple juice, grenadine, cherry brandy and Cointreau. It was first created in 1915 at Raffles Hotel in Singapore.)
10. Villahermosa, Grijalva River and Parque-Museo La Venta

Answer: Tabasco (sauce)

Situated in the centre of the Mexican state of Tabasco, Villahermosa was just a small settlement when it was first discovered by explorer, Hernan Cortes, at the start of the 16th century. Since offshore oil was discovered in 1974, the area started booming, with Villahermosa becoming the state's main business centre and capital city.

Grijalva River used to be called Tabasco River until it was renamed after Juan de Grijalva, a Spanish conquistador who accompanied Hernan Cortes on his travels. It is the third longest river in Mexico at 1,911 km long, winding through the states of Peten, Chiapas and Tabasco until reaching the Gulf of Mexico.

Parque-Museo La Venta is an archeological site in Villahermosa. The ancient Olmec settlement has 33 stone sculptures that include altars, stelae and colossal heads which were first discovered and documented in 1925.

(Tabasco is a hot sauce made with capsicum peppers invented by Louisiana businessman, Edmund McIlhenny. It is believed he was given seeds for Capsicum frutescens 'Tabasco' from Mexico and grew these successfully in his garden.)
