A TRICKY FOOD AND DRINK QUIZ
FOOD AND DRINK
We all have to eat and take on fluids to survive, but some people can create masterpieces of flavour from the simplest of ingredients. I watch the Masterchef series of shows (especially Australian Masterchef) hoping for tips, but I guess I'm just a food eater rather than a food creator; which you can see by my waistline! This is quite a tricky quiz and I think scores will be around the 5 or 6 mark. Can you do better and show your knowledge of all things foody (and drinky!) in this quiz? QUESTIONS 1. Which country first produced Ouzo? 2. Which Chinese menu favourite is translated into English as ‘Odds and Ends’ or ‘Assorted Pieces’? 3. What type of fruit is a russet? 4. What fruit is used to flavour and colour Grenadine? 5. In which country did the Fray Bentos pie originate before moving to the UK and being bought by Baxters of Scotland? 6.
