Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Ingredients: Basil Olive Oil Pine Nuts What am I making?

Answer: Pesto

Pesto often also has Parmesan cheese in it. The name is derived from the same root as the word "pestle" and relates to the fact that the ingredients are all crushed together.

2. Ingredients: Ketchup Horseradish Worcestershire Sauce What kind of sauce could I make from these?

Answer: cocktail sauce

This spicy condiment is typically served with seafood. Variations to the basic recipe can include mayonnaise, sour cream and even whiskey.

3. Ingredients: Apples Walnuts Celery What dish contains these?

Answer: Waldorf Salad

Waldorf Salad originated at New York's famous Waldorf Hotel (now the Waldorf-Astoria) back in 1896. Interestingly enough, it was created by the dining room manager, not the hotel's chef.

4. Ingredients: Fish Tomato White Wine Only one dish below includes these. Which is it?

Answer: Bouillabaisse

Bouillabaisse (pronounced boo-ya-base)is a Mediterranean fish stew which is especially popular in the Provence area of France.

5. Ingredients: Cucumber Dill Yogurt Combining all of these gives me what?

Answer: Tsatsiki

Tsatsiki (also spelled tzatziki or tzadziki) is a sauce which is popular in Eastern Europe and parts of the Middle East. It can be served as a side dish for dipping, or in the case of gyros or souvlaki, as a topping for a prepared dish.

6. Ingredients: Chicken Butter Parsley What am I making?

Answer: Chicken Kiev

This one was a little tricky. Some of the recipes include butter (and all have chicken, of course) but only the Chicken Kiev uses parsley. The others might have oregano or other herbs, but not parsley. The origin of the name is unclear.

7. Ingredients: Egg whites Sugar Cream of Tartar What am I making with these ingredients?

Answer: meringue

Meringue is simply whipped egg whites and sugar with cream of tartar added to serve as a binding agent. Common dessert uses for this confection include Baked Alaska, Lemon Meringue Pie and Key Lime Pie.

8. Ingredients: Beef Capers Egg What dish contains these?

Answer: Steak Tartare

Steak Tartare is actually raw beef which has been minced or chopped and seasoned, then served with capers (and usually onions) and topped with a raw egg. It is a French dish that has achieved popularity all over much of Europe.

9. Ingredients: Avocado,Lemon Juice,Salt. Only one dish below includes these. Which is it?

Answer: Guacamole

Basic guacamole has only those three ingredients. But in order to liven this dip up you can add cilantro, garlic and/or cayenne. It may be blasphemous to some, but I've even had it with a little bacon mixed in! Get out the tortillas...

10. Ingredients: Pasta Olive Oil Anchovies What dish includes these?

Answer: Pasta Puttanesca

A literal translation of pasta puttanesca is "whore's pasta." Why, you ask? Well there are several explanations, but the most interesting is that a prostitute could prepare this dish very quickly while "entertaining" her guest. Whatever the origin of the term, the dish has been around no longer than the 1950's and it is a very flavorful Italian meal.
