Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. It's a cold winter's day and you decide to make some soup. Which of these soups is least likely to be vegetarian?

Answer: Cock-a-leekie

Cock-a-leekie soup is a traditional Scottish dish made from chicken and leeks. Minestrone is a thick vegetable soup with pasta or rice, though meat can be added if required. There are many types of vegetarian soup recipes - tomato is just one example and carrot and lentil is another.

2. Your friends are coming for dinner and you want to impress them by making a delicious vegetarian moussaka. Which of these vegetables is one of the main ingredients of moussaka?

Answer: Aubergine (eggplant)

Moussaka is a dish popular in Mediterranean and Balkan countries. The Greek version consists of layers of meat and aubergine topped with b�chamel sauce. Vegetarians can leave out the meat and use potatoes, lentils and other roasted vegetables instead.

3. Today you're going to bake a quiche to serve with salad. Your sister offers to give you her recipe for Quiche Lorraine. Will this type of quiche definitely be suitable for vegetarians?

Answer: No

Quiche is a savoury dish with a pastry crust and an egg-based custard filling. Quiche Lorraine is a variant which contains bacon or sometimes ham. If you're a vegetarian there are plenty of other fillings you can choose from which don't include meat.

Answer: Gelatine

Gelatine (also spelled gelatin) is derived from animal by-products and used in cooking as a gelling agent. It is often found in sweets, ice creams, yoghurts and other desserts. Agar-agar is suggested as a vegetarian alternative because it is extracted from seaweed rather than animals.

Answer: The parmesan cheese

Parmesan cheese contains rennet, which is extracted from the stomachs of slaughtered young calves. Rennet is used in the production of cheese because it contains enzymes which coagulate the milk. It is also found in other cheeses such as Grana Padano and Gorgonzola.

Answer: Toad in the hole

Toad in the hole is a meal consisting of sausages in Yorkshire pudding batter. Many vegetarian meat substitutes and mock meats are available to buy including vegetarian hot dogs, vegetarian sausage rolls and vegetarian bacon!

Answer: Mushroom stroganoff

This Russian dish is now eaten all over the world and there are lots of different variations to the recipe. If you want to avoid the animal by-product gelatine, you'll need to check that your soured cream (or cr�me fra�che) is gelatine-free - or use an alternative.

Answer: False

Of course vegetarians can eat gravy! You can buy vegetarian gravy granules and just add boiling water or if you prefer to make your own, there are plenty of gravy recipes which don't involve meat.

Answer: Lard

Lard is a type of animal fat used in cooking and sometimes found in pie crust, though it is not used as often today as it used to be, as people are looking for healthier alternatives.

Answer: Cottage pie

Cottage pie is a meat pie with a mashed potato crust on top. The meat used in cottage pie is usually minced beef. You can buy Quorn mince and other brands of meat-free mince so that vegetarians can enjoy this dish too.
