1. What sport has a plate?

Answer: Baseball

The home plate is where the batter stands. It is also what polite people use to put their food on.

2. In common with my favourite sandwich filling, the noble sausage, which sport can have a banger?

Answer: Billiards

A term for a new or amateur player who 'bangs' the ball with no finesse and who doesn't attempt to control the positioning, or who hits the cue ball too hard. A banger is what the English call a sausage.

3. A grain that I prefer popped, which sport has corn snow?

Answer: Skiing

Sweetcorn kernels treated to a dose of heat makes a great snack. You may have to decide on salt or sweet.

Answer: Tennis

A bagel is when you win (or lose) a set 6-0. You can also have a double bagel (if you are really hungry), that is when you lose two sets 6-0. A bagel is a ring-shaped bread roll that is first boiled, then baked.

5. Good with cranberry sauce and a favourite at Christmas, in which sport can you score a turkey?

Answer: Ten pin bowling

A turkey is when you score three strikes in a row. A strike is when all the pins are knocked down with your first ball. A turkey is also a large bird that usually graces some Thanksgiving and Christmas tables.

6. A pleasant change from bread for my daily sandwich, in which sport would you use wraps on your partner?

Answer: Polo

Polo ponies wear these on their legs to protect them. It can be a bit rough with those mallets flying around. A wrap is unleavened bread that is also known as a tortilla.

7. I like this grated on to rice pudding, but in which sport would you perform a nutmeg?

Answer: Soccer

Also called a tunnel, a nutmeg is when the ball goes between another player's legs when the ball is passed. Nutmeg is a spice that is the seed of the nutmeg tree 'Myristica fragrans'.

8. To dunk or not to dunk, in my tea that is. In which sport would you find a biscuit?

Answer: Ice Hockey

The puck is called the biscuit. You want the biscuit in the basket, as that means you have scored a goal. Biscuits (not pucks) taste nice dunked in tea or coffee.

Answer: Volleyball

A one-handed defensive technique where the hand is extended and the palm is slid along the floor as the player dives or extension rolls, and timed so that the ball bounces off the back of the hand. Pancakes are a traditional treat made from flour, eggs, milk, and sugar.

10. A favourite way of catering at a party, in which sport would you find buffet bowling?

Answer: Cricket

Also known as cafeteria bowling, this is where the batsmen can "come and help yourself to runs" as the bowling is so bad. Buffets are usually a large table of food dishes when guests can serve themselves.
