Fun Trivia : Quizzes : International Cuisine : Guild Steak of the Onion

Introduction:
"The Guild chefs have all prepared a ten-course meal for your enjoyment. See what you know of some fine dishes from all around the world. Stroll down FunTrivia Lane, stop at some Guild members' fine food establishments and sample some question delicacies!"


1. Your first stop is at uglybird's "Southeast Asian Pagoda Deluxe". Located in the far corner of a dark and damp cave, you are able to secure a table. Negotiating the darkness of the same Southeast Asian cave using echolocation, a small bird, called a "swiftlet", flies twig-in-beak to the nest it is building and adds the twig to its nest, cementing it in place with gooey saliva. This could be thought of as an early step in the production of what culinary delicacy?
    Swift brain broth
    Egg foo yung
    Bird's nest soup
    Egg drop soup


2. Your next stop down FunTrivia Lane takes you to dinner at "gretas' Tudor Bistro", her new restaurant that specializes in Elizabethan cooking. But your elation soon turns to trepidation as you stare down at a menu filled with a list of entrées you can't even pronounce, much less recognize. Hoping for the best, you order "olive pie." What does the waiter bring to you?
    Slices of meat rolled around hard-boiled egg yolk
    Baked apples stuffed with currants and spices
    Sheep's eyes baked into individual pie crusts
    Baked salmon stuffed with kidney beans, scallops, and eel


3. Around the corner jouen58 just opened an Italian diner called "Lasagna-Mania" which specializes in all sorts of pasta. Italian pastas come in an infinite variety of shapes, many of which have interesting (not to say bizarre) names. One of the most unusual pasta names is "strozzapreti", whose meaning is downright sinister; what does "strozzapreti" mean?
    Brass knuckles
    Hangman's nooses
    Coffin nails
    Priest stranglers


4. Recently, trident87 has been thrown in jail, apparently his restaurant was a front for the FunTrivia Mafia (a ruthless organized crime syndicate). However, he now puts his good skills to use in the prison kitchen, making pruno. Pruno - a beverage that flourishes in prisons - is a foul-tasting, foul-smelling concoction that is often described as tasting like bile. But its taste and smell are not what is desired by the prisoners. Pruno contains a marginal amount of alcohol, making it illegal for prisoners to process. Which of the following is NOT an ingredient that is often used in the prison bootlegging of pruno?
    Ketchup
    Fruit
    Beans
    Sugar


5. Back on the main Guild Avenue we come to "ertrum's Punjab Palace" which has been reviewed in all of the local papers for its Indian cuisine. You decide to stop and sample the famous Bombay Duck. What makes it so special?
    It's a duck that has been soaked in sea water
    It's a smoked duckling served in the shell
    It's a fish
    It's vegetarian


6. Your next stop lets you hang your sombrero in Lemmyrules' establishment - "Mexican Munchies". After all that eating, you want a nice simple bean meal. "Pico de Gallo" is a garnish associated with Mexican food. It also sometimes known as "salsa cruda" (fresh sauce). It is commonly made up of the ingredients of tomato, onion, and serrano or jalapeno peppers. Sometimes other ingredients are added such as lime juice, avocado, cucumber, and radish. A tasty topping when added to food, especially pinto beans. If you translate "Pico de Gallo" into the English language, what does it mean?
    Tail of burro
    Goat's head stock
    Rooster's beak
    Ox head salsa


7. Continuing your culinary adventure, you reach pu2-ke-qi-ri's "Safari Sandwich Store", specializing in African meat. After scanning today's specials, you decide to order Malawi sausage. Tell me, what is Malawi sausage made out of?
    Dried mice on skewers
    Zebra eyeballs
    Intestines stuffed with meat
    The fruit of the Malawi sausage tree


8. Winding down, you reach "Château Bruyere". There are some dishes from French cuisine that illustrate how she truly uses all the products of nature. All of these swam at one point, but only one had no legs before landing on your plate. Which one was it?
    La fricassée de cuisses de grenouille
    L'anguille aux pruneaux
    Les aiguillettes de canard aux figue
    Les écrivisses à la nage


9. Heading off to "LeoDaVinci's Middle Eastern Market", you feel like trying out something authentic Middle-eastern. But a whim makes you decide to order something vegetarian. Which of the following dishes wouldn't you order?
    Labaneh
    Hummus
    Shawarma
    Tahina


10. To finish your experience you head in to "agony's Dessert Delights". Sometimes it's hard to find something that is nutritious, tasty, and cheap, to serve for afternoon snack or at the daycare. She does have one surefire hit, though - Jell-yo! She takes that all-time kid favourite, Jell-O, (unfortunately, almost null and void nutritionally) and pairs it with yogurt to give it the nutritional boost it needs to pass muster with the critics.
How does she make this, to ensure that it comes out smooth and creamy, rather than curdled and inedible?
    Let the Jell-O cool to room temperature before whisking in yogurt
    Allow the Jell-O to set, and then mix yogurt in with a potato masher
    Boil the yogurt and add it to hot Jell-O
    Freeze the yogurt and add it to hot Jell-O
