7. Which ingredients are characteristic for "Snow White" salad?

Answer: Yogurt and cucumber

When modern statistics began to be practiced in Europe in the late nineteenth century, demographers noticed that Bulgaria had the highest percentage of octogenarians and even centenarians in its population. Unsure of what caused this, many came to believe it was the yogurt in the Bulgarian diet. Thus the yogurt craze in Western Europe was born, particularly among the French.

9. Tikvenik is which of the following?

Answer: Pumpkin dessert

Tikvenik, this sweet pastry's name comes from the Bulgarian word for "pumpkin," tikva. Just like traditional banitsa, tikvenik often appears on restaurant menus.

10. Lutenitsa is similar to which condiment?

Answer: Ketchup

There are many versions of this type of sauce in Eastern Europe known by many different names (there's a similar Serbian sauce called "ajvar"). In Bulgaria, where this one is from, it's common to find it slathered on bread topped with feta cheese. The combination of the sweet sauce and the salty cheese with crusty bread is delicious.
