Quiz answers!
For those of you who had the opportunity to take the fun culinary quiz I posted yesterday, the answers are below the jump. I put them there on purpose in case others of you would still like to take the quiz and don't want the answers spoiled for you.
I wish I could report my own score on this quiz, but while completing it I noticed that I was a full three answers short. As it turns out, the wire story was missing three answers, so I had to call the Kansas City Star and get the missing answers. Well, that threw me all out of whack. But the best I can tell is that I got about 22 or 23 correct out of the 25. I did not know halloumi or cavolo nero.
I hope everybody had fun and learned something along the way!
Answer key:
1. Ganache - M
2. Ceviche - X
3. Risotto - C
4. Carpaccio - J
5. Hamachi - P
6. Remoulade - R
7. Chiffonade - U
8. Panna cotta - A
9. Hearts of palm - D
10. Geoduck - E
11. Aioli - B
12. Pain perdu - F
13. Frisee - Y
14. Tostones - G
15. Roulade - O
16. Pancetta - I
17. Paella - N
18. Pommes dauphin - H
19. Halloumi - K
20. Fleur de sel - L
21. Cavolo nero - Q
22. Amuse-bouche - S
23. Radicchio - T
24. Sweetbreads - V
25. Sashimi - W
I mixed up aioli and remoulade and sashimi and hamachi. I had never heard of cavolo nero or halloumi, but I guessed and got them right. Halloumi sounded like a Greek word to me, so I picked it for the cheese. Cavolo nero and the dark cabbage were the only ones left to match, so.....:-)

I got six wrong!
I thought I would do a little better, I should've gotten remoulade, but I got it confused with roulade. And I had initially guessed right on Pomme dauphin, but then changed it. D'oh!
It was fun, thanks for the quiz.

The only reason I knew pommes dauphin is because I took three years of French in high school and one of the few words I still recognize is the word for potato. Does that say something about my Irish heritage?
My father reports that he got a perfect score on the quiz. Of course, nobody was there to witness this... nah, I believe you, Dad.

I failed miserably by missing 10 but then I don't really cook so maybe missing 10 isn't too bad! Coworker Anna missed 6 and coworker Ken missed 2. Ken complains that the two he missed (#6 and #11) were trick answers!

I got them all right! Woo hoo, happy dance. I do admit that two were a lucky guess (halloumi and cavolo nero).
Really I think this just means I watch too much food television. I would not have known tostones (plantains are not my favorites) if it wasn't part of the final elimination challenge on the last season of Top Chef filmed in Puerto Rico.

I knew pommes dauphin b/c of Top Chef and I knew Cavolo nero was Italian not Greek. Good job Nona! I knew tostones from Top Chef too.
