Green Eggs and Ham Trivia Quiz

Answer: Belgian Waffles

Waterloo is a community in present-day Belgium and was the site of Napoleon's final defeat at the hands of the Duke of Wellington and his allies on June 18, 1815.

Belgian waffles are a recent invention dating back to Expo 58, aka the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. The North American introduction of the dish came in 1962 at the Century 21 Exposition in Seattle, Washington. It was further popularized at the 1964 New York World's Fair. The waffle is similar to, but a more simplified version of, the Brussels waffle. Belgian waffles do not actually exist in Belgium and are a chiefly North American breakfast food.

Answer: Huevos Rancheros

President General Santa Anna was the leader of the Mexican army that opposed the Texans at the Alamo. Huevos Rancheros is a traditional Mexican breakfast.

Refried beans, Mexican rice, or guacamole are often added to the dish.

As the dish's popularity spread many other additions have been made to it, including cheese, lettuce, enchilada sauce, sour cream, or wheat tortillas.

Answer: False

Benedict Arnold has nothing to do with Eggs Benedict. There is no consensus on the exact origin of the dish but most trace its origins to around the turn of the 20th century in New York. Three possible sources for the dish are Lemuel Benedict, Commodore E. C. Benedict, or Mrs. Le Grand Benedict.

The dish consists of ham or bacon and poached eggs on two halves of an English muffin, which is then covered in Hollandaise sauce. Variations include Eggs Blackstone (featuring tomatoes slices), Eggs Florentine (featuring spinach instead of meat), Eggs Mornay (featuring Mornay sauce instead of Hollandaise), and Eggs Neptune (featuring crab instead of ham or bacon).

Answer: Long John

Blackbeard and Captain Kidd were famous pirates. Long John Silver was a famous fictional pirate in the book "Treasure Island". The Long John doughnut is a bar doughnut that can be topped with icing or left plain. The most common icings are chocolate or maple.

In some places the doughnut is hollow and filled with cream like an éclair. These filled Long Johns are sometimes confused with éclairs and marketed as éclairs but éclairs and Long Johns use different doughs and fillings.

Answer: Luther Vandross

Legend attributes the Luther Burger to Luther Vandross but there is no clear evidence as to its exact origin. The dish is either a hamburger or cheeseburger or bacon cheeseburger where the bun has been replaced by a doughnut or doughnuts. In many instances Krispy Kreme doughnuts are the doughnuts of choice.

It is a high calorie dish ranging anywhere from 800 to 1500 calories per serving. The Luther Burger has become a staple at many state fairs in the South and Southwest.

Answer: Huevos Divorciados

Along with his penchant for getting married, Henry VIII also had a penchant for getting divorced so the most logical choice here would be the Huevos Divorciados, Spanish for divorced eggs. Huevos Casado in Spanish translates as married eggs but is a fictional dish. Huevos Divorciados consist of two fried eggs separated by either chilaquiles or refried beans and tortilla chips. One egg is covered with red sauce (salsa roja) and the other with green sauce (salsa verde).

Answer: Tongue Toast

One biography of William Jennings Bryan calls him a golden-tongued orator. His "Cross of Gold" speech is considered a classic in American political history.

Tongue Toast is an open-faced sandwich with sautéed beef tongue and scrambled eggs. Black pepper and onions are used for seasoning. There are several variations of this basic make up. One uses buttered toast and poached egg(s) instead of scrambled. Another uses battered toast similar to French toast with mustard butter and serves this as hors d'oeuvres.

Answer: Texas Toast

Judge Roy Bean held court in Val Verde County, Texas. Texas Toast is toast that has been sliced so that the slices are twice as thick as normal bread slices. This bread is then used to make battered toasts like French Toast or to make garlic bread by toasting and adding garlic and other seasonings.

The former is usually served for breakfast while the latter can accompany chicken fried steak, fried catfish, BBQ, or any other traditional Southern dishes. The bread is also used purely for thick breaded sandwiches.
