Food trivia questions
Food trivia questions about fruit, cheese, spices, pasta, desserts, cocktails and dishes from around the world, from the obvious to the obscure.
Food prompts ask for a fruit, a cheese, a herb or spice, a type of pasta, a dessert, a cocktail, or a dish from a particular kitchen: Japanese, Indian, Greek, Turkish, Mexican, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Romanian, French, Spanish or Middle Eastern.
Dishes travel under many names, so the game accepts the usual spellings and transliterations. Pizza is on the tip of every food iceberg; sarmale and asafoetida are much further down.
