Dining with the Rockers Trivia Quiz

Answer: Faggots

Faggots were a common foodstuff in the Midlands and northerly counties of Britain particularly during times of food rationing. Several faggots made up the meat element of a meal along with vegetables and gravy. They are still available from certain butchers and markets and can be found in some parts of Britain as a frozen item in gravy ready to cook.

In some areas of Britain they are also known as 'Savoury Ducks'. Possibly due to the high offal content, and also their rather unbecoming name, these tasty items have declined in popularity since the 1960s.

Answer: Garam Masala

Garam means intense and masala is a mixture. Such a combination of spices is used in many dishes such as chicken,beef and fish. For full flavor,I suggest using a mortar and pestle to grind the spices.

Answer: Paua

Pauas are a rare delicacy. It is illegal to sell them commercially. They can only be harvested in certain areas, and there are strict rules on quantities and size. The interior of the Paua shell is brightly hued, with colours ranging from deep red to turquoise. They can commonly be seen serving as ash trays in many Kiwi homes.

Answer: El Salvador

The pupusa, a national dish of El Salvador, consists of a thick corn tortilla filled with cheese and other ingredients, including beans, pork, and 'loroco' (unopened flower buds), with a scoop of 'curtido' (fermented cabbage slaw) on the side. With approximately 300,000 Salvadoran-born immigrants living in Los Angeles, it is no surprise that pupusa restaurants, or 'pupuserías', can be found all over the city.

Answer: Quandongs

Quandongs are small red fruit about the size of a cherry, with a large stone that can be used for jewellery or crushed to yield oil that has medicinal uses.
Other parts of the plant also have medicinal functions.
Quandongs are sometimes called wild peaches, and are found over most of southern Australia.
They have a higher Vitamin C content than oranges and Quandong jam is yummy !
Of the choices given, quandongs are the only choice found in my part of Australia.

Answer: Leyden

Leyden cheese is named after the Dutch city of Leiden. It is similar to Gouda cheese but always has cumin or caraway seeds mixed into the curd. My father-in- law called it 'groene kaas' or green cheese.
Abertam is a sheeps milk cheese from the Czech Republic, Stilton an English cow milk cheese (I love the 'blue') and Brie is one of the best known French soft cows milk cheeses.

Answer: Ketchup

Many Chicago people hate putting ketchup on hot dogs, and I, a native of Chicago, agree with that.

Answer: Beer batter

This simple recipe is well known in Australia. It only involves a can of beer(cold) and some plain flour. It makes a great crispy coating for most types of fish in minutes.

Answer: Scrapple

Scrapple is a Pennsylvania Dutch food common to the Mid-Atlantic states. It's primarily a combination of pork scraps, flour and spices, thinly sliced and pan fried until crispy. It's tasty but I quit eating it once I was old enough to know what is in it and how it's prepared. Scrapple will never be considered a healthful food.

Answer: Pão de queijo

The food of Brazil is a combination of many different cultural inheritances that have mixed and created our unique cuisine. Originally, such food was created by the native indigenous peoples.
When the Portuguese colonized Brazil, their gastronomy mixed with the traditional indigenous dishes. Later, during the times of slavery, Africans brought their gastronomy to Brazil.
Many other immigrants arrived in Brazil, such as Germans, Italians, Japanese, Spanish and French.
But we have some specialities, like Cheese bread that we created here.These rolls are best consumed while warm, directly from the oven.
