1 What is the main ingredient of the French soup, “Bouillabaisse”?
A Fish. Fresh, local Mediterranean fish—such as rockfish, red mullet, and sea bass—anchor this traditional dish. To build the foundation, chefs simmer fish bones and vegetables into a rich broth, which they سپس infuse with the bold flavours of saffron, garlic, and fennel.
2 Which elongated suet crust dumpling features a savoury meat filling at one end and a sweet jam filling at the other?
A Bedfordshire Clanger. The word “clanger” is related to the dialect term “clung”, which Joseph Wright glossed as meaning “heavy”, in relation to food.
3 Which Asiatic spice is commonly used as a cheaper substitute for saffron?
A Turmeric, primarily due to its similar yellow-orange colour. While turmeric doesn’t have the same unique flavour as saffron, it can still add a vibrant hue to dishes.
4 Which blue or white cheese, made from full cream milk, is produced in parts of Leicestershire around Melton Mowbray?
A Stilton. Nineteenth- and 20th-century texts suggest that producers crafted Stilton cheese outside the village; the cheese simply adopted the name of the town where merchants first sold it.
5 In which alcoholic spirit sometimes has a worm in the bottle?
A Mezcal. Producers distil Mezcal from agave plants and sometimes include a larva in the bottle for production and marketing purposes.
6 Gisborne, Hawke’s Bay, and Marlborough are wine-producing districts in which country?
A New Zealand. These regions produce a diverse range of grape varieties and high-quality wines, which significantly bolsters New Zealand’s reputation in the international wine industry.
7 What type of fruit is a Blenheim Orange?
A Apple. This large, round fruit features a dull yellow skin often patterned with orange-red stripes or flushing. Its flesh provides a slightly nutty flavour and a distinctive crumbly texture.
8 Which wine-making region of France produces Chablis?
A Burgundy. Chablis serves as Burgundy’s northernmost Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC). Although the region belongs to Burgundy, Chablis sits further north and nears the borders of Champagne and the Loire Valley.
9 The main ingredients of vichyssoise, a classic French soup, are potatoes and which other vegetable?
A Leeks – Cooks can also use onions instead of, or in addition to, leeks.
10 What single malt Scotch whisky is distilled only on the Isle of Skye?
