Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Bacon is of course a pork cut from pigs, but there are several alternatives available for people who want a full English but are unable to eat pork. So from which animal would we get the bacon substitute macon?

Answer: Sheep

Macon is a mutton bacon, originally introduced in Scotland as a result of World War II rationing.
2. In UK, eggs sold in stores are hallmarked to show that they have been produced to the highest standards of food safety. What is the hallmark?

Answer: Lion

Started in 1988, the lion hallmark is by far the UK's most successful food safety scheme. Since it's inception, almost 150 billion hallmarked eggs have been sold.
3. Which of the following mushrooms should you NOT be eating at breakfast, or any other time really?

Answer: Panther Cap

Please avoid that panther cap. Although it is rare in UK, it does grow there and ingestion can be fatal. The chicken of the woods grows on stumps and is said to have the same texture as, and a taste similar to chicken. The prince has a slight nutty taste and trompette de la mort may translate as trumpet of the dead but it is perfectly edible and also known as horn of plenty and black chanterelle. Please bear in mind, if you are eating wild mushrooms that many poisonous varieties resemble edible ones, so please seek guidance.
4. Would a grilled Black Zebra be acceptable with a full English?

Answer: Yes

Black Zebra is a variety of tomato that is very flavourful.
5. No full English breakfast would be complete without toast, but up until the 17th century, toast was mainly used as what?

Answer: A flavouring for alcoholic drinks

Way back in the 15th century, toast was used as a drinks flavouring, and after finishing the drink, one had the choice of eating or leaving the toast. In Shakespeare's 1616 play, "The Merry Wives of Windsor", Falstaff orders Bardolph to fetch him "a quart of sack (sherry) with a piece of toast in it".
6. Which of the following is not a UK sausage variety?

Answer: Kielbasa

Kielbasa is a delicious Polish/Ukranian sausage, usually made from pork or beef that works really well in soups and stews. Cumberland is my personal favourite sausage and has a healthy black pepper flavour, while Lincolnshire's tend to be more herb based, especially sage. Yorkshire sausages are flavoured with white pepper, nutmeg and cayenne pepper.
7. Baked beans are a full English staple but do you know which variety of beans are normally used in baked beans?

Answer: Haricot Beans

Baked beans are very popular in the UK. According to the Heinz website, an incredible 1.5 million cans of their baked beans are sold every day in the UK, which means that they have to process 50,000 tons of raw haricot beans per year. Pinto beans are normally used in refried beans, while adzuki beans are usually found in Asian cuisine sweets or pastries. Chickpeas are used to make hummus.
8. Love it or hate it, black pudding should always be served with a full English, but what are the three main ingredients of good Black Pudding?

Answer: Pork Blood, Pork Fat, Oatmeal

It may sound disgusting, but try it. It is so tasty and a great source of protein as well as high in iron and zinc.
9. So, now we have our food on our plate, it's time to add some of Frederick Gibson Garton's famous sauce. Which sauce did he invent?

Answer: H.P. Sauce

H.P. Sauce was invented by Garton in Nottingham in the late 19th century. He patented it but was forced to sell the patent to Midland Vinegar Company for £150 to cover unpaid bills.
10. And now we wash our full English down with, what else but the most English of drinks, tea. Where did this quintessential English drink originate though?

Answer: China

Tea was first recorded in China in 59 BC although it was probably drunk well before then. Tea production in India didn't take off on a large scale until the early 1820s,and although China and India are still the largest producers of tea, most of it is grown for their respective home markets.

The biggest exporter of tea is Sri Lanka and surprisingly, tea is now grown in the UK, on a small scale in Cornwall.
