Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I decided to invite an American friend over for lunch, while not an especially fancy friend they are undeniably scrumptious and very popular. Made of a butter and sugar dough with delicious chunks of cocoa based goodness they are enjoyed by many people all over the world.
2. I decided I needed some more mature company and visited a friend who has been around since the late 1500's. Quintessentially English this friend is a layered dessert made up of custard, fruit, sponge, jelly and occasionally alcohol although there are many variations of the recipe. What had I visited?
3. I decide to travel east for the summer and stop by the beautiful country of Italy. While there I remembered a mouth-watering pal of mine and made plans to catch up. This friend is made of coffee, mascarpone cheese and cocoa among other ingredients. What friend is this?
4. A family emergency called me home but on the way I had a stopover in Paris, I took the opportunity to make a delicious new friend while at dinner that night. I had a great time with a choux pastry ball filled with cream and topped with a chocolate sauce. Sated, I rested well until I headed for my flight in the morning. What had kept my mind occupied the evening before?
5. In the spirit of all things European I decided to continue catching up with some delicious continental friends. Top of my list is a layered chocolate cake with whipped cream and cherries reminiscent of a forest area in Germany. What is it?
6. I found that I was a little bored with cake company and decided to spend some time with my fruity friends instead. The only one free on the night was an ice cream dessert with peaches and a raspberry sauce. Invented at the Savoy Hotel in London to honour a famous soprano, who had I managed to meet up with?
7. Funds are a little low because of my travelling so I decide to stay local and head north to Scotland. Although not quite capturing the history and culture of the country I made my mind up to stay casual and met up with a friend who had been born in the mid-nineties. Definitely not an advocate for healthy eating but it's good to be a little different sometimes. My young friend is a deep fried well known chocolate (candy) bar.
8. I was very excited today to find a very unique dessert! Hot and cold; ice cream, sponge and meringue; cooked?
What has tickled my fancy today?
9. Sometimes we all have to bow to external opinions, personally I don't like cooked fruit but an overwhelming amount of people do.

Consisting of a pomaceous fruit baked in a pastry casing, sometimes served with ice cream or whipped cream, what I am befriending?
10. The best thing about new experiences is having someone to share it with so I called up my best friend to tell them all about my delicious adventures. No stranger to being enjoyed by many; my friend is very versatile and delicious. Some of the many variations of this fried dough dessert are a ring variety or a filled version with cream or jam with a multitude of toppings.
