Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In season three of TV show "The Walking Dead", which character is seen killing and plucking an owl ready for eating?

Answer: Daryl

Any doubts that Daryl (Norman Reedus) ate the owl are put to rest when later in the episode he invites Rick (Andrew Lincoln) to go hunting with him, saying, "That owl didn't exactly hit the spot."

Although owl meat has never been widely eaten it was believed in ancient India that it could cure seizures and rheumatism, while eating the eyes of the bird would assist in being able to see in the dark.
2. Although traditionally eaten in countries such as Djibouti, Somalia, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, the meat of which animal is gaining in popularity in Australia, especially Alice Springs, where it is used in a lasagna?

Answer: Camel

Australians do have a reputation for being adventurous when it comes to cuisine and as the country has a huge feral dromedary population, it seems only natural that the two would go together, although the camel meat used for cooking in Australia does come from sustainable ranches. Camel meat is leaner than beef and very high in protein and vitamin E, while camel milk is rich in iron and B vitamins and contains three times the vitamin C of cow's milk.
3. The history of the Dease River Kaska indigenous people of British Columbia, Canada includes a type of "ice cream" which didn't include snow, instead being made from cranberries, combined with the grease of which animal?

Answer: Bear

There are not many North American indigenous peoples that haven't hunted bear at some point in their history and there are many accounts of bear being roasted, boiled or steamed in First Nation's histories, with the fat or grease often having other culinary uses. Southern Alaskan and Northern British Columbian Indigenous Peoples considered the grease a delicacy and used it to marinate dried fish bits while the Montagnais of Quebec would prepare a fat pudding from bear grease that was only served at feasts on special occasions.
4. In 1897, the scientific team aboard the ship, the Belgica, were stuck for the winter in the ice of the Antarctic. Which member of the crew, who were forced to eat penguin to survive, went on to become the first man to reach the South Pole in 1911?

Answer: Roald Amundsen

The penguin meat helped the crew of the ship avoid the vitamin C deficiency scurvy and apparently the birds were easy to catch as they were intrigued by the sound of music and would approach the boat whenever the cornet was played. Amundsen's fellow polar explorer Frederick Cook wrote that penguin tastes like beef, cod and duck roasted together in a pot with blood and cod liver oil as a sauce. I think that this is perhaps not the most appetising food review ever.
5. Which actor said in 2012 that he had eaten wolf to help him get into character for his role in the 2011 movie, "The Grey"?

Answer: Liam Neeson

Neeson told of how the movie director had ordered up wolf stew in order to help the cast better feel their roles. Although several diners brought the meal straight back up, Neeson insists he went back for a second helping because although it tasted very gamey, he said in an interview with "Outdoor Life", "I'm Irish, so I'm used to odd stews. Just throw a lot of carrots and onions in there and I'll call it dinner."
6. When zebra meat became widely available in UK, a star of the advertising campaign was Iwan Thomas who won three athletics gold medals in 1998, competing in which event?

Answer: 400 metres

Thomas won his gold medals representing Great Britain at the European Championships in Budapest and the IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) World Cup in Johannesburg and while representing Wales at the Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur.

Zebra meat was also promoted by boxers Carl Froch and David Haye and is virtually fat free as well as containing far fewer calories than beef while being high in zinc and vitamin B12.
7. In 2016, photos of a giraffe killed by politician Angelo Vukasovic were circulating on the internet, along with his comments that giraffe was the tastiest meat he had ever tried. What nationality is Vukasovic?

Answer: Swedish

Vukasovic was, at the time of his comments, a treasurer for the Swedish Democratic Party, who also owned a hunting lodge in Sweden. His game hunting was done in South Africa and included zebras and hippos as well as lion, which he proclaimed the second tastiest meat. Perhaps in a classic case of not thinking ahead, he gave his comments on eating giraffe on 21 June, which is World Giraffe Day, a day to celebrate the majesty of these beautiful animals as well as raise awareness of the challenges giraffe face in the wild.
8. During the Siege of Paris in 1870, two elephants from the zoo "Jardin des Plantes" were killed and eaten by Parisians. With names from Greek and Roman mythology, what were the elephants called?

Answer: Castor and Pollux

Prussian forces blockaded Paris for almost four months meaning that food became scarce and the citizens had to resort to unusual meats. After consuming an estimated 65,000 horses and donkeys, their attentions turned to cats, dogs and rats but once these ran out, zoo animals became the next focus, including zebra, kangaroos and the elephants. English Liberal party MP, Henry Labouchere, wrote of trying a slice of Pollux saying, "It was oily, and I do not recommend English families to eat elephant as long as they can get beef or mutton."
9. In UK, other than the royal family, fellows of St John's College are the only people allowed to eat unmarked mute swans. Is this college a part of Oxford or Cambridge university?

Answer: Cambridge

Although the British monarch has the right to own all unmarked mute swans in UK, this right is only exercised on small stretches of the river Thames. The royal favour allowing the consumption of swan was granted to St John's college in the 15th century and cygnets were regularly eaten until 1691, while swan was served at the annual May ball until 1986.
10. Tiger tail ice cream is very popular in Canada and definitely does not contain tigers. It is actually orange ice cream with swirls of which other ingredient?

Answer: Liquorice

Here in UK, tiger tail is pretty much unheard of but is considered such a classic flavour in Canada, that the vice president of Chapman's Ice Cream in Ontario has said that it will remain as one of their flavours even though it isn't a great seller. It is so loved in Canada that Tidehouse brewery in Nova Scotia actually make a "Tiger Tail Ice Cream Ale", an IPA milkshake beer which, according to fans tastes just like the ice cream.
