4. Pulpo a la gallega is a simple dish with only four ingredients. What is its main ingredient?

Answer: Octopus

Pulpo a la Gallega's main ingredient is octopus; add some paprika, salt, and olive oil to make it. Some chefs add potatoes and serve it on a wooden platter. It originated in Galicia, which is in the north-west area of Spain and has a long coastline, which is why seafood is popular there.
5. A popular part of Spanish cuisine has its made its way to restaurants around the world: small plates. What is the Spanish term for small plate?

Answer: Tapas

"Tapas" translates to "lids" or "tops," because a slice of cheese or meat was served on the top of your wine, possibly so you wouldn't be sipping wine on an empty stomach. They gradually became small meals of their own, like appetizers or between-meal mini-meals. Now, tapas can mean virtually any small amount of food short of a meal.
6. What is not usually found in traditional paella, Spain's signature dish?

Answer: Chocolate

Spain's signature dish is paella, usually a mix of rice, vegetables, and seafood. Originating in the Valencian area of Spain, "paella" is named after the word pan in which it's cooked. Rice was cultivated in Spain beginning in the 10th century, first brought there by Muslim people who emigrated to the Iberian peninsula.
7. Spain is a producer of a particular spice that is relatively expensive and usually adds the color yellow to food. What is its name?

Answer: Saffron

Saffron comes from the flower of a crocus. Spain is one of the few producers of this rare spice. Some research has shown it may help alleviate symptoms of depression.
8. What is the name of the white Spanish food often used as a condiment or a sauce?

Answer: Aioli

Pure aioli is simply a creamy mix of garlic and olive oil. Modern chefs have added egg to make it more like mayonnaise, but the original version from Catalan just has the two ingredients.
9. What is the name of the Spanish dessert that is translated as "fried milk"?

Answer: Leche frita

Leche frita is a sweet dessert from northern Spain that means "fried milk." To make it, you cook flour with sugar and milk until it's firm, then cut it into pieces, fry it, and serve with a glaze of sugar and cinnamon.
10. I saved the best for last. What is the name of the cold Spanish beverage made with tiger nuts, water, and sugar? Variations from other countries can include milk, cinnamon, and vanilla.

Answer: Horchata

Horchata is a sweet, milk-like beverage original to Spain, where it's made with tiger nuts, water, and sugar. Tiger nuts are actually tubers though they're also referred to as "earth almonds." In other countries, it is often made with rice milk, coconut milk, or sesame seeds.
