Answer: Work fast, make small cuts

A miter saw allows you to make precise angled cuts in wood, metal, masonry, and plastics. As with all power saws, it is very important to keep a safe working area at all times when using a miter saw. Paying attention to your work ensures accuracy of your cuts. Keeping the saw blade guards in place and wearing safety glasses are two measures that protect your body against accidents with the saw. Working fast, or making lots of cuts should NOT be an approach with a miter saw because it can cause mistaken alignment of the saw, which could lead to injuries.

Answer: Yeast extract

Marmite was invented by the German scientist Justus von Liebig in 1902. The discovery came after realizing that the yeast remaining after the beer-making process could be concentrated into this spread. Marmite has lots of vitamins, especially vitamins B6 and B12. People hold differing opinions about this salty mixture: some love it and some hate it!

Question by player Lpez

Answer: Cheese

Made with the milk of goat and sheep, halloumi is a heartier cheese than most. Resistant to melting, some preparations of this Mediterranean treat are done on the grill, and notably, some producers add spearmint to their cheese for flavour. Halloumi, as a product, is distinctly Cypriot in the same way that authentic champagne is only manufactured in the Champagne region of France.

Answer: Pastry chef/pātissier(e)

Anna Olsson has presented many TV shows in Canada, including 'Fresh with Anna Olson', 'Sugar', 'Kitchen Equipped' and 'Bake with Anna Olson'. She also had a Twitter series 'Sweet Something' and a YouTube Channel 'Oh Yum with Anna Olson'. Duff Goldman's TV shows include 'Ace of Cakes' and 'Duff Till Dawn'. Benoit Blin is a judge on UK Channel 4's 'Bake Off: The Professionals' and worked at the Ritz in Paris before the top chef Raymond Blanc invited him to one of his Michelin-starred restaurants in 1995.

The wrong answers are regional dishes from the UK and Ireland and, as far as I am aware, do not have speciality chefs to cook them.

Question by player Quiz_Beagle

Answer: Pasta

Strozzapreti is long, hand-rolled, chunky macaroni. The two stories about the tongue-in-cheek name are either that priests liked this pasta so much and were so greedy, that they would choke on it, or else that the strozzapreti was lovingly made for the priests by the women of the area and their husbands wished this unkind fate on the recipients of their wives' generosity! No priests were harmed in the making of this question.

Question by player Quiz_Beagle

Answer: Nutmeg and mace

Nutmeg and mace come from the fruit of the tree known as the true nutmeg. The nutmeg spice comes from the seed, and mace is from the seed covering.
Both have many culinary uses, particularly in baking or egg based desserts. Mace has a more subtle flavour.
