10 Question Food Quiz

[SandwichShortOfAPicnic]

I’m sure this‘ll be a cinch for the folk on here but who doesn’t like a bit of smug in the morning?

The big ingredients quiz: do you know your antipasti from your pesto?

 

[Windigo]

I didn't know what petit lucques were.

Me neither I had to guess that one based on looks
Pretty damn good score there though!

7/10 -- Sous chef. Nice work. You’re not yet up there with Angela Hartnett, but you’re a keen cook who likes to try new things and enjoys experimenting with interesting ingredients.

I don't know who Angela Hartnett is, but apparently I'm not as good of a cook.

The test was definitely aimed at a British/European cook. I never would have guessed pomegranate juice would be good in a pudding. Although, in the UK, a pudding can be a lot of things.

I did get the petite luckies thing right.

I'm afraid that I couldn't answer any of the questions. I probably could've guessed and got 33% right.

You would have to get 30% or 40%. 33% is impossible with ten questions.

I'll go back to my corner now.

I've never seen or used pomegranate molasses, so I had to guess

I was going by the odds.

 

[MypinchofItaly]

9/10 Master Chef.
I thought it was 'Nduja and instead it was Harissa which by the way I don't know exactly what it is, I think something similar to 'Nduja? Damn! as a Master Chef I should know it!
I was also impressed by their knowledge of Malloreddus pasta.

 

[TastyReuben]

I had to guess at a few, and I missed the pasta shape question.

I knew about the pomegranate molasses, because a certain member here has sung its praises on more than one occasion.

I got 9/10 because I didn’t know what the pasta was but in my defence being a coeliac means my pasta knowledge is limited to what gluten free offerings there are!

IMO she’s not all that

Pomegranate molasses is a mostly used in Mediterranean cooking

It is one of the harder quizzes I’ve seen, I don‘t think they were particularly easy questions.
I had to guess two (the French Olives and the pasta) and got one wrong, usually I walk those things but not this morning!

 

[Herbaceous]

I got 10/10, but I did have to guess on the pasta shapes question and got lucky!

Ones a Tunisian spice mix and the other a type of spreadable pork that reminds me of stinky chorizo, really wanted to like it and really don‘t
