Around the World in Ten Breakfasts Quiz

Answer: Biscuits and gravy

American biscuits have been likened to a scone, but they are softer, fluffier, and usually made with buttermilk. They never have fruit in them. Pork sausage was very common in rural life. The grease from the cooked sausage was turned into a white sauce called gravy, using flour, milk and water.

The spiciness of the meal depends on the sausage and how much black pepper the cook adds. The biscuits are split in half and then buried under the gravy. Mmm... Good eating.

Answer: Crab or lobster

More seafood than pork is consumed on the East Coast of Canada, so when this dish is prepared there, crab or lobster is usually used instead of Canadian bacon. This tasty dish is quite easy to make and is well worth the effort.

Answer: toasted grain bread and yeast spread

Marmite is the New Zealand equivalent of Vegemite. Vogel's is a delicious heavy grain bread made to a recipe first developed by the Swiss nutritionist, Alfred Vogel, which for some reason really caught on in New Zealand and has become New Zealand's distinctive bread product.
