Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

This is in two parts, however, you have to get both to score the point, so if someone picks up because you only get one part and names the other, no complaining.:D

Name the dish/drink and which country it comes from:

Outback Ossie.. just taken your first answer on your two posts.. well done anyway ..x

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Kate I dunno...to both of my answers.....gut feeling is lasagne......and stroganoff, but I expect to be wrong.
As for the Kangaroo thing...yes the Australians do eat skippy.......and crocs too.
I have had Kangaroo meat......didn't like it (no surprises there then) it has to be eaten very rare or it is very tough. The bit that I tried had only been shown the frying pan...and a good vet with an electric probe could have easily started it's motor again

Croc meat......never had that, but himself had a crocodile pie.....he said it was like chicken(this was 'farmed croc' fed on chicken so I guess it isn't surprising that it tasted like chicken).

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Look back for clues, Margaret.
Thought you didn't know owt about foreign foods..seems to me you are too modest ... LOL.

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

5 Jansson's Temptation (Swedish Potato and Anchovy Casserole)

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.

I only look at them...don't eat them.

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Interesting, but not correct..... yuk ... \____/ .:D

Nor me ... well, maybe some.

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

re chicken kiev OR Tsiplenokovo Po-Kievski - i thought this might be the answer you were expecting, however the dish is originally french created by Nicolas (Francois) Appert who was a brewer, pickler, confectioner, and chef who also discovered the principles of canning and preserving of food. the dish was taken to russia, as the Empress Elizabeth Petrovna preferred french food. it is believed that it was named the kiev in new york to appease the russian poulation and the name was then brought back to europe. it didn't become popular in russia until after wwII

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.

Oh dear ... so near, but yet so far... have to be precise.

That leaves, 5,15,20,22,23, and 25.

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

25 Goulash, Hungary cos it's got potatoes in it.

Someeone else have a go please cos I think I know what 15 is.

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

23. Tequilla Sunrise - USA

Susie, 15 looks disgusting but I'd like to know what it is to make sure I don't order it in a restaurant by mistake!

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Thanks for posting Steve. If I'm right then 15 is laverbread, Wales.

It's a kind of seaweed and not bad when eaten with bacon. I did buy some years ago from Swansea Market when we were on hols down there.

PS I'm not clear as to whether each country only has one mention in this Quiz in which case your tequila sunrise USA would not be allowed as we've already had burgers. It does certainly look like that however.

PPS I now know what 22 is as found the very same picture on Google images. Hope that's not cheating! ;)

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Laverbread probably tastes better than it looks. There are a couple of dishes from France already so I think countries can crop up more than once, although my answer could still be wrong!
PS I won't tell anyone you've been looking things up on Google!!

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Just looked up Kate's post 38 in which she gives the answers and yes there are two things from France on there but I would quibble and say moules frites is Belgian... was going to suggest a French dish for no 5 but not sure now!
Anyway,... 22 is moussaka from Greece. And I'm sure I'm not the only one to look for a little help in these matters.

What else is there to do on a Saturday afternoon?

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

20.Champ Northern Ireland!

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Or possibly 20 colcannon Ireland?

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Yep... once again the same picture is on Google images. This is getting silly...

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

I had written Colcannon originally but was with my friend Charlottte who lives in Belfast and she said that the presence of spring onions (garnish) meant it could only be Champ!

(Went to visit her there 2 yrs ago and went to their local Tescos -they had the biggest selection of different potatoes that I had ever seen in my life!:eek::D)

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

23.Bloody Mary UK

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Yes can see the spring onions but the lumps in the actual dish look bigger, more like cabbage/kale. Champ is only supposed to have the onions isn't it?

BTW I make the Scottish version which is called rumbledethumps - potato, leek and cabbage. Yummy!

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Running out of ideas - 5 Quiche Lorraine France?

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Yes, had the original answer as Belgium, but after doing a little googling myself, was attributed to both Belgium and Northern France, so gave it to Jedimaster to save any arguments.. :)

All incorrect.

As for googling ...it's just research 'innit, and this is how most of us expand our knowledge.

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

My thoughts exactly Kate, thanks. I used to have to do it for a living, can't help it now!

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Got it = possibly? 5 rosti Switzerland. I AM HUNGRY!!

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Clever girl ...did overstep the rules, but do I care anymore ? Just a bit of fun. :D
I'm hungry too ... but will stick with boiled pearled baby potatoes (smothered in Anchor Butter), gammon (from my local butcher) and butter beans, for tonight's dinner.:)

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Oops hadn't realised... looks like everyone else has given up!

Enjoy your dins... we had curry (but followed with baked apple).

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

23. Long Island Iced Tea - USA ??

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Am really P***ded off about Colcannon as it's what I'd written then edited as my friend who lives out there convinced me it was Champ --just goes to show -never truat a friend!:D

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

not given up exactly there is too much controversy over countries of origin when it comes to the history of food. many countries/towns claim to be the first but quite often they are wrong. consider what we perceive to be traditional british dishes that actually come from somewhere else!

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

You mean like chicken tikka masala?

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Balti - Apparently Bírmingham. :D

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

was thinking more of the likes of fish and chips etc.

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

NZ claim fish'n'chips as their national dish....

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Spag bol doesn't exist in Italy -----It should be Tag Bol...made with Tagliatelle (ribbon pasta) just spent 2 days in Bologna!

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

brought to gb. by the jews

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Nah!!!!!!Well I never -need some evidence OB1!!!!!!

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

the practice of frying fish was traditionally jewish - they would fry the fish the night before the sabbath so they did not have to cook on the sabbath day.

here is one article however there are many more

BBC News - The unlikely origin of fish and chips

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

from jamie oliver's new series: Lasagne is British! And other UK food facts that might surprise you - Channel4 - 4Food

Lasagne is British!

Italians might hold their layered pasta masterpiece up as a symbol of patriotic pride, but some historians have caused a stir by suggesting that Mamma's famous dish might actually be, well, Mum's.

In 2003, researchers at the British Museum noted that 14th Century cookbook The Forme of Cury, popular during the time of Richard III, features a dish called 'Loseyn', made up of sheets of pasta topped with cheese.


Haggis is English!

The Scots hold many distinctions over the English – their dramatic scenery, their fetching kilts, the recording career of the Proclaimers – but their national dish might not be quite the patriotic plateful that Robert Burns once thought.

Haggis, 'the great chieftain of the puddin' race', is sheep's heart, liver and lungs, mixed with oatmeal, suet, onion and spices, traditionally eaten by Scots every January on Burns' Night. But in 2009, food historian Catherine Brown found reference to haggis in English cookery book The English Hus-wife, from 1615, which is a whole 132 years before the first Scottish reference to the delicacy. Sorry Nessie.

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Thank you, Jedimastee, all 'Food for Thought' ...:)

Just 22 left now.
Thrown open to anyone .. may have to give a clue if not guessed in 24 hours.

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

22....Lasagna - Italy
Even though Jedi has posted evidence to say it is British.

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Aww, shucks ... meant 23 Margaret .... the drink ... followed the wrong line on me pad... sorry.

22 Was the Moussaka - Greece which, if you look back, you had the best chance of the correct answer.

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Being red, it might be Borsch beetroot soup, but it would only be served in a glass when served chilled.
It is 'eastern European' maybe Transylvanian because the one time I made it my son couldn't eat it, saying it was like eating blood.

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Where's that clue then Kate?

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

23. Organise, but confused, around a pulse will get you half way there. :)

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Gazpacho soup - Spain (always served chilled)

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

We've had that already, no 8

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Singapore sling, hooray! er, from Singapore. Quite clued up on cocktails now, looked at so many sites.

Good clue... ;)

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Well done Susie, you're right! Looked one up on Google. That clue was too cryptic for me.

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

Don't get cryptic - but glad it's sorted

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

[QUOTE]23. Organise, but confused, around a pulse will get you half way there. [QUOTE]

OK Steve... here goes. Anagram of organise (signalled by the word confused) around the letter p (for pea, which is a pulse like beans and lentils) gives you Singapore. A lifetime of cryptic crosswords helps!

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

[quote=susie123;950471]Oh....I tried to organise the letters in "but confused" around "pea".....it got me nowhere!!

Re: Foreign Foods Quiz.
 

[quote=steve2qec;950474]So did I at first, and bean and lentil. Then I googled tomato juice cocktails and grenadine cocktails and in the latter list the word Singapore leapt out at me.
