Question 6 of 10

6. At this point I was so hungry, I could have eaten practically anything. The table decorations even looked palatable. I asked the waiter to bring me some Rocky Mountain Oysters.

Filled dumpling

Spicy sausage

Baked ice-cream

Paprika eggs

NEXT>

Question 8 of 10

8. At this point I was desperate for some sustenance. Perhaps a Finnish dish would make its way on to my table? I ordered vispipuuro and sat with bated breath. I took one look at the cheesecake my waiter brought me and let out a sigh of frustration..

"This is not what I ordered!"

Gooseberries

Cloudberries

Gojiberries

Lingonberries

NEXT>

Question 9 of 10

9. I had begun sobbing and practically lost the will to live. Surely I had to be able to get one dish I had ordered? Indian cuisine should be fairly easy for my waiter to get right. I ordered a bowl of kheer. The sight of the chocolate cake I was presented with made me bang my head against the table...

"This is not what I ordered!"

Kheer is an Indian dessert made predominantly with which grain? Hint

Lentils

Oats

Barley

Rice

NEXT>

Question 10 of 10

10. As a last ditch effort to see if my waiter could get at least one of my orders correct, I ordered a glass of vann. When I saw the waiter approaching my table with a glass of orange juice, I just got up and left.

Vann is the Israeli word for water.

Answer: Cherry

Kirschwasser is German for "cherry water". It is a colourless fruit brandy, usually drunk neat and often served as an aperitif.

Answer: Shrimp fritters

"Tortillitas de Camarones" are shrimp fritters which are tapas or appetizers of Andalusian origin. Shrimp is mixed in a batter of flour, water, onion and parsley and are fried in olive oil.

Answer: Fish

Kabeljou, also known as Kob is a popular fish in South Africa also known as a Mulloway in Australia.

Pierogi is a dish predominantly eaten in Slavic cuisine. It is also a national dish in Canada. Unleavened dough is wrapped around a meat filling which often includes potato and sauerkraut.
