Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What did Sue Ann cook (that was passed off as Mary's creation) for Mary's dinner party for Congresswoman Geddes?

Answer: Veal Prince Orloff with Baked Pears Alicia for dessert

When the veal is passed, Lou took half of the portions for himself; Mary made him put some back, which he did, saying, "You know, I'm not as hungry as I thought."
2. What gift did Sue Ann give Mary in the famous "Chuckles the Clown Bites the Dust" episode?

Answer: a food groups mobile

At the end of the show, Mary asks Ted to take it with him if he's cryogenically frozen.
3. In the pilot episode, when Lou asks Mary to join him in a drink, she first demurs, then requests what girly cocktail?

Answer: a Brandy Alexander

The answer so exasperates Lou that he puts his own bottle back.
4. Ah, but Mary gets another shot at ordering a cocktail in the office, during Lou's stint as program director. This time she's blatantly joking as she orders what?

Answer: a Mai Tai

She adds, "Unless you're out of umbrellas."
5. A classic Rhoda quote: "I don't know why I'm eating this-I should just apply it directly to my hips." What is she referring to?

Answer: a chocolate

In the "MAD Magazine" spoof ("The Mary Tailor Made Show") people kept referring to Rhoda as Henny Youngman.
6. When she realizes that her guests are expecting dinner, Mary pulls Rhoda into her little kitchen for an emergency conference. Rhoda asks if Mary can't just "whip something up." Upon opening her fridge, what does Mary respond?

Answer: "Yes, I can whip up a carrot"

Although a lot of single girls do keep nail polish in their fridges.
7. While in Chicago, Sue Ann explains to Mary, "When I'm really bugged, I cook." What does she then proceed to whip up on the hotel room hotplate?

Answer: chocolate fondue

It's the failure of the fondue that finally pushes her over the edge, and awkwardly into Mary's comfort.
8. What does Rhoda bring Mary when she's stuck home with a cold?

Answer: pizza

As she's leaving, a miffed Sue Ann tells Mary, "No pizza!"
9. What does Rhoda claim is her secret to a great Caesar salad?

All fine advice, to many.
10. What food from Sue Ann's show causes the whole newsroom to come down with food poisoning?

Answer: cream-filled pastries that were "accidentally" unrefrigerated

Sue Ann did it on purpose to sabotage the fresh young girl, who was getting set to steal her Happy Homemaker show.
