Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The ingredients include: molasses, flour, eggs, sugar and some spices. The dish is:

Answer: Gingerbread

The key ingredient in gingerbread is molasses. While some people might pour molasses on top of their pancakes, it would never be used in the recipe! Molasses is a byproduct of sugar production, particularly cane sugar.

2. The ingredients include: avocado, onion, tomato and chiles. The dish is:

Answer: Guacamole

Many delicious dishes originated in Mexico, including the avocado dip we enjoy with tortilla chips or on top of our tacos. Frijoles are beans and would taste just fine with a little guacamole. Sopa is the Spanish word for soup; Flan is a traditional custard-like dessert.

3. The ingredients include: cornmeal, milk, and eggs. The dish is:

Answer: Any of these

Cornmeal is a kitchen staple that is used for everything from breading fish to
thickening sauces. For pioneer families and others on strict budgets, cornmeal mush and other dishes were common fare.

4. The ingredients include: cream cheese or whipping cream, creme de menthe, chocolate and sometimes green food coloring. The dish is:

Answer: Grasshopper Pie

Grasshopper Pie became a popular dessert in the 1950s but has recently made a comeback. It is frequently made with a chocolate cookie crumb crust and, of course, gets its name from the use of green foodcoloring to match the mint flavoring.

5. The ingredients include: beef, onions, sour cream and gingersnaps. The dish is:

Answer: Sauerbraten

Sauerbraten is a braised beef dish that is often served with the distinctive gravy that includes gingersnaps. The meat is tender and flavorful even without the rich sauce but the tangy combination of sourcream and ginger is a winner!

6. The ingredients include: rabbit, white wine and many spices. The dish is:

Answer: Hasenpfeffer

Only hasenpfeffer is made from rabbit. Coq au Vin is a chicken dish that also uses a delicious wine sauce. Pot du Rabine, as far as I know, doesn't exist! And, of course, Welsh Rarebit is a dish of cheese sauce that's dipped and spread on toast and often broiled.

7. The ingredients include: liver, butter, onion and a number of spices. The dish is:

Answer: Pate

Goose liver pate is the expensive version, Pate de Fois Gras, but you can make a very nice spread from chicken livers. No, this is not a low calorie dish but
it certainly is tasty!

8. The ingredients include: bread, milk, eggs and vanilla. The dish is:

Answer: French Toast

While traditionally French Toast requires the cook to stand over a hot griddle and turn the slices as they brown, there are several recipes for baked versions that are a lot less work and quite a time saver.

9. The ingredients include: chicken, fried noodles, cabbage, cilantro and either peanuts or almonds. The dish is:

Answer: Chinese Chicken Salad

There are probably as many recipes for Chinese Chicken salad as there are Chinese restaurants in the U.S.A. Most often though, shredded cooked chicken is tossed with cabbage, green onion, and cilantro in a light soy dressing and then served over fried noodles.

10. The ingredients include: cut up fruit (often cherries, oranges and pineapple) and coconut.

Answer: Ambrosia

The term Ambrosia conjures up a heavenly light dish and that is the intention when you serve this combination. Food of the Gods? Maybe not, but it is a wonderful concoction!
