I made a copy of his little rant about junk food, and have it over my desk at work. The part that says, "Do you really need those chips?" Ha Ha I loved that book Angela.

I just finished reading Anthony Bourdain's book "Nasty Bits" and found it to be very entertaining and interesting! I was lucky enough to find a seemingly new paperback copy at Goodwill but your local library may carry it. Just wanted to share.... Now, to wait and see the results of the quiz tomorrow!

I feel quite sure that it won't be me. We took the coworker challenge here and are anxiously awaiting the answers tomorrow to see who wins! I feel quite sure that it won't be me.

I mixed up aioli and remoulade too and 2 others. Like Lori, I knew Geoduck from seeing it on Bourdain's show. I've seen them on Iron Chef too. They are quite a sight. :-) I got 21 right.

I got down to two that I was unsure of - the same two that Lori had not heard of, which makes me feel better! Can't wait to see how I did. OK, that was fun.

I'll share the details of what I missed tomorrow. There is definitely a little bit of trickery afoot in the quiz. I missed a few myself. I'll share the details of what I missed tomorrow.

I got aioli and remoulade mixed up. I had never heard of halloumi or cavolo nero. Ceviche and carpaccio also confused me. I suppose 20 out of 26 isn't bad! I only knew geoduck from watching Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern eat it on Travel Channel. I have to say, they are ugly! Oooh, I missed 6 of them. I got aioli and remoulade mixed up.
