Answer: Deep-fried pig skin

3. In which of the following countries are you most likely to find Moreton Bay bugs on a restaurant menu?

Answer: Australia

Don't let the name fool you. Moreton Bay bugs are actually flat-headed lobsters and are named after Moreton Bay in Queensland, Australia.

4. Rollmops are a Scandinavian treat that uses which fish, known for swimming in very large schools?

Answer: Herring

Rollmops are pickled herring fillets that are wrapped around various other foods such as pickles, onions, and olives.

They are very popular not only in Scandinavian countries, but also in such places as Brazil, Poland, and South Africa.
5. Which of the following is the best description for the Filipino treat known as balut?

Answer: Chicken embryo

Balut is a chicken or duck embryo that is boiled alive while still inside the egg. Sold by street vendors, balut is believed to be an aphrodisiac and is high in protein. Often eaten while drinking beer, this is a common food in many parts of Southeast Asia where this dish goes by different regional names.
6. In which of these countries are you most likely to find Rook Pie on a restaurant menu?

Answer: Wales

A rook is an Old-World bird not unlike the North American crow. In Wales and other areas of Britain they are sometimes used to make a meat pie. Younger birds are preferred for tenderness and flavor. Sometimes, but not usually, vegetables may be added. The gravy used in the pie is a source of much pride and secrecy to those who prepare this dish.
7. Which of the following is the best description of the Polish treat known as zimne nogi?

Answer: Jellied pigs feet

Zimne nogi is a Polish treat of jellied pig or cow feet. It is often considered to be an attempt by the peasants to emulate some of the aspic covered dishes that were a favorite of the aristocracy. No parts of a farm animal were wasted. In parts of the United Kingdom a similar dish is known as "trotters".

In parts of the U.S. it is not unusual to see pickled pigs feet for sale. It goes without saying that proper cleaning before preparation is essential.
8. Which of the following treats is sometimes recommended to prevent postpartum depression?

Answer: Placenta

Placentophagy is the practice of eating the placenta or afterbirth of a newborn. While this is practiced by wild animals it does occur in the human population also. Many online articles suggest that it helps prevent postpartum depression, but scientific proof does seem to be lacking.

In China the placenta of a newborn baby was dried and used in herbal medicine to treat infertility, wasting diseases and impotence.
9. Hákarl is a wonderful Icelandic dish made from which fermented meat?

Answer: Shark

Hákarl is an Icelandic speciality usually made from basking shark. The shark is boned and the meat is cut up and buried in a pit the ground to ferment for 3-4 months. At this time the meat is dug up and hung up to dry for a couple more months. The hardened outside skin is cut off and the hákarl is served with a glass of Icelandic schnapps known as brennivin, which is made from fermented potatoes.
10. Which of these things are you most likely to find in black pudding?

Answer: Blood

Black pudding also known as blood sausage or blood pudding is a type of sausage made by cooking blood until it is thick enough to congeal when fillers are added. Variations of black pudding are eaten all over the world with a variety of fillers used. These fillers include potato, rice, suet, meat, yams, and grain.

The blood used comes from domestic animals such as cows, pigs, goats, sheep and fowl.
