Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In "Issac and Ishmael," when a group of high students is stuck in the White House commissary, what does Josh suggest feeding them?

Answer: apples and peanut butter

"I've gotten entire pieces of legislation through Congress on apples and peanut butter," Josh informs the students. Bananas and peanut butter were a favorite of Elvis Presley.
(Episode 3.00, Written by Aaron Sorkin)

2. In "On the Day Before" what is NOT one of the things President Bartlett says they will be eating at dinner that evening?

Answer: trout almondine

When Josh Lyman is informed of the menu, he asks "Was anything you just said food?" For the record, gnocchi are small Italian dumplings, and chevre brioche is cheese on rich, flaky bread.
(Episode 3.04, written by Aaron Sorkin)

3. In "The Indians in the Lobby," President Bartlett annoys his staff by discussing stuffing in great detail. What is NOT one of the ingredients he mentions in his stuffing?

Answer: cayenne pepper

The President also mentions oysters, carroway seeds and thyme. CJ mentions anise and coriander as well. Bartlett calls the Butterball Hotline to inquire about stuffing in one of the funniest scenes in the entire series.
(Episode 3.07, written by Aaron Sorkin)

4. In the episode "The Women of Qumar," there are fears that what type of food may be threatened with contamination?

Answer: Beef

The threat of mad cow disease is a sub-plot in this episode. "We're not talking about sushi, it's hamburgers," states Toby.
(Episode 3.08, teleplay by Aaron Sorkin)

5. In "The Two Bartletts," C.J. and Toby discuss an artist who makes sculptures using butter. What is NOT one of the sculptures C.J. mentions?

Answer: A butter Garth Brooks

C.J. becomes almost obsessive about the butter sculptor, using the word seven times to annoy Toby. There REALLY is a butter sculptor, who lives in Iowa. Her name is Norma "Duffy" Lyon, and she has - in reality - made all of the listed sculptures. She is known in Iowa as "the butter cow lady."
(Episode 3.12, written by Kevin Falls and Aaron Sorkin)

6. In "100,000 Airplanes," what does Toby need to eat to keep him motivated while writing the State of the Union Address?

Answer: pie

Toby mentions pie on three separate occasions. After a highly successful speech, Bartlet instructs "Somebody get these guys some pie."
(Episode 3.11, written by Aaron Sorkin)

7. When Abby had her birthday dinner in "Dead Irish Writers" what item was not on the menu mentioned by Jed Bartlet?

Answer: pumpkin pie tart

With a Canary melon sorbet to cleanse the palate, and washed down with a 1997 Pinot Noir and a 1994 Zinfandel. Alcohol is featured a great deal in this episode, with Abbie drinking wine with C.J. and Amy, and Toby drinking scotch with Lord John Marbury. The pumpkin pie tart was on the menu at the real White House, at the Obamas' state dinner for the President of India.
(Episode 3.15, written by Aaron Sorkin and Paul Redford)

8. What kind of meat did Josh bring Donna as a gift from Finland?

Answer: Moose

Not just any moose meat, either. According to Josh "sauna-soaked moose meat. Nicely packaged in a burnt pine box. The hinges are made from hand-woven Lapland ribbons." Donna gave the moose meat to a junior member of the White House staff, who got in trouble for selling it on the Internet.
(Episode 3.19, "The Black Vera Wang", written by Aaron Sorkin)

9. What type of candy bar was Simon Donovan buying right before he got killed at the grocery store in "Posse Commitatus?"

Answer: Milky Way

The grocery store was located at 98th and Broadway, which is at the upper edge of the West Side in New York City. Seems strange for Simon to be that far north, considering the President and C.J. were watching a play 50 blocks south.
Simon (Mark Harmon) mentions the Milky Way as he enters the store, and just seconds before he is shot.
(Episode 3.22, written by Aaron Sorkin)

10. Even though Donna has been stealing Josh's food during a scene in the bar in "Manchester: Part I," what does she refuse to eat?

Answer: potato salad

Josh eats it, mostly in spite, after criticizing Donna for stealing his food.
(Episode 3.01, written by Aaron Sorkin)
