Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. As an aperitif, Ralph is serving his guests an anise flavoured Greek drink. What is it?

Answer: Ouzo

Ouzo is uniquely Greek and is legally only allowed to be produced in Greece. The first distillery to produce ouzo in the 1800s is still operational today.

2. He brings out a plate of hors d'oeuvres. On the plate are what appear to be thin slices of raw beef in what looks like lemon juice. What could this be?

Answer: Carpaccio

Carpaccio surprisingly derives its name from the name of a painter Vittore Carpaccio. Reportedly this was due to the similarity between the look of his works and a plate of raw meat.

3. The soup is served next. It is red in colour, has the sweet smell of cooked beets and has a spoon of sour cream on top. What could this be?

Answer: Borscht

Borscht is of Ukranian origin which uses meat stock as a base. Beets are cooked up with other root vegetables and some recipes include cabbage. It is slow cooked for a number of hours and is often topped with sour cream or yoghurt upon serving.

4. As an accompaniment to the main meal, Ralph has created a salad. It has tomatoes, bread and a variety of sliced bell peppers. It also includes chopped anchovies and capers. What has he made?

Answer: Panzanella Salad

Panzanella salad is a traditionally Italian dish, specifically Tuscan in origin. Traditionally made with onions, but these have been substituted for tomatoes in latter years. References have been made in Italian literature of this salad as far back as the 16th century.

Answer: Baked Ratatouille

Ratatouille is a quintessentially French dish. It was made famous in the movie by the same name released in 2007, featuring a rat with a love and talent to cook.

6. A palate cleanser has been brought out too. Which of the following was brought to the table?

Answer: Lemon Sorbet

Traditionally, palate cleansers are served after dishes with very strong flavours in order to neutralise taste buds. Apart from sorbet, bread and apple are widely used too.

7. The main course is served. Ralph has cooked fillet steak, coated with pate and mushrooms and wrapped in pastry. What are they called?

Answer: Beef Wellington

Meat cooked in pastry was synonymous with French cuisine. It has been suggested that the English took the French recipe and renamed it after adding a few touches to it. No facts indicating its origin have been found thus far.

8. A gasp is heard around the table as the dessert is brought in: a conical tower of cream filled profiteroles covered in ganache. What is this delight named?

Answer: Croquembouche

Croquembouche is a French dessert. The literal translation of the name is "something that crunches in the mouth". The tower is held together with spun sugar and is generally baked for very special occasions.

9. Now for an after dinner drink, traditionally South African: whiskey mixed with ice cream. What is this called?

Answer: Don Pedro

No references can be found as to the origin of the name, but the drink itself is said to have been created by a Capetonian chef in the 1970s as something to serve his friends. Don Pedro is a character in Shakepeare's play "Much Ado About Nothing".

10. Finally comes the cheese platter. One cheese in particular is very special. It has combination of nutty and fruity tastes and is Swiss in origin. What is it's name?

Answer: Gruy�re

Gruy�re is cheese made from cow's milk and named after a Swiss town. It is used very often in French cuisine and is preferred for its ability to melt. Widely used in fondues and baking.
