Hello. Thanks to Mary, Marie and Abbie for playing. Here's your answers:
1. This well-known dish of beef, pate, mushrooms, truffles and a Madeira sauce encased in a pastry crust was named for a famous general. Which dish is it?
d. Beef Wellington
2. An American president came in for some criticism after he declared a great fondness for French soups. In what can only be deemed a bold PR move, the White House issued its recipe for this soup, claiming it to be the President's absolute favourite of all soups! Which soup and which President?
b. Hamburger soup. Critics thought Ronald Reagan seemed elitist for saying he liked French soups, so the White House scrambled to make up this recipe to make him look more patriotic. I’m guessing he probably suggested apple pie for dessert too.
3. Which of these things would you find on a Memphis-style pulled pork BBQ sandwich?
a. Cole slaw
4. Rice, Malt, Balsamic: These are all types of...?
d. Vinegar
5. What is the yellow-colored spice used to season Spanish rice?
Saffron
6. What happens if the date stamped on your milk reaches the date?
b. Shouldn't be sold.
Thank you smart women. Marty and I fight over this. It shouldn’t be sold. The milk will stay fresh up to a week after this date and will not lose its nutritional value. Marty thinks he will die if he drinks it and arguing ensues.
7. What are the two methods of smoking meats and seafoods?
a. Hot and Cold
Hot smoking can take six to twelve hours between 120 degrees and 180 degrees. This yields a drier product. Cold smoking is done at temperatures of 70 and 90 degrees for one to three weeks. I’m scared of anything that has been sitting around for three weeks.
8. What does "86" mean?
a. Out of Menu Item
9. Fabio was a spokesperson for which margarine product?
I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. Did anyone ever see when he got hit in the face by a bird while on a roller coaster? Pretty funny.
10. In which US state could you legally take your road kill home to cook and eat?
b. West Virginia. No wonder they have a bad rep. Nasty.
11. Which is the Number One pizza topping in America?
c. Pepperoni. Not my favorite, but apparently the rest of the world likes it.
12. In Canada, what product is called “Kraft dinner” regardless of whether or not Kraft is the manufacturer?
Mac and Cheese. Canadians…
13. The owners of this American fast food pizza joint also own the Detroit Tigers and the Detroit Red Wings.
c. Little Caesars. Pizza Pizza. I’m guessing these are bigger in the Midwest because all the ones I knew about in NJ are now defunct.
14. This American burger joint is known for their "slyders".
a. White Castle. Despite what Harold and Kumar say, there is no White Castle in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. There is one in
15. What ingredient is NOT in a Smor, although I think it would be delicious?
b. Peanuts
16. An American favorite, Cheddar, derives its orange color from
b. Annatto seeds. I don’t think you will ever need to know this in your life. They also yellow paiella too. Also delicious.
17. What food product over took Ketchup as the top selling condiment in the United States in 1991?
b. Salsa
18. What color did blue replace when it was introduced to the standard package of 'M and M Candies'?
a. Tan. Who wanted the tan? So boring. My little sister and I used to have to share a bag of M&M’s quite often. I would try to foist the tan and brown onto her.
19. What is a 'Mesclun'?
c. A green salad
20. What is a chorizo?
a. Spanish smoked sausage. Awesome in Jambalaya
Abbie wins!! 14/20. She just beat out Mary who got 13/20.
Maria came in third with 8/20. Maria is a picky picky eater. I wish I was as picky!! So I was not shocked that she didn't know what some of these foods were.
Thanks again.
