    Which of these is artificial butter that can be made from vegetable oil?

    • 1% Jelly
    • 1% Marmite
    • 98% Margarine
    • 0% Jam

    Margarine is an artificial butter. It can be made from vegetable oil, or animal fat. It may also contain skimmed milk, salt and emulsifiers. Margarine is used in many baked products. It contains less fat than butter, so is often chosen instead of it. There are also "low fat" margarines, which contain even less fat. However, many types of margarine are made with hydrogenated oils.

    Which animal's milk is butter most frequently made from?

    • 100% Cow
    • 0% Elk
    • 0% Ox
    • 0% Deer

    Most frequently made from cow's milk, butter can also be manufactured from the milk of other mammals, including sheep, goats, buffalo, and yaks. It is made by churning milk or cream to separate the fat globules from the buttermilk. Salt has been added to butter since antiquity to help preserve it, particularly when being transported; salt may still play a preservation role but is less important today as the entire supply chain is usually refrigerated.

Around the world, Brioche is an upgraded substitute for ‘normal’ bread – subbed in for sandwiches, toasties, burgers, and more.

The dish is named after Alfredo Di Lelio, who featured the dish at his restaurant in Rome in the early to mid-20th century; the "ceremony" of preparing it tableside was an integral part of the dish.

    Where was the deep-fried butter on a stick created?

    • 27% Georgia
    • 13% Florida
    • 45% Iowa
    • 15% Ohio

    Deep-fried butter on a stick was created by Larry Fyfe, an Iowa entrepreneur who has spent decades inventing and selling carnival treats. Officials asked him to come up with a deep-fried butter item last year in honor of the 100th anniversary of the fair’s giant butter cow, which is viewed with some awe, but never eaten. Mr. Fyfe was skeptical. “I figured the name alone would kill it,” he said. “It sounded like a deep-fried globby mess.” But he went to work on the project. Others had produced deep-fried butter, he knew. The Texas State Fair, for one, had featured the item. But Mr. Fyfe’s success at putting it on a stick seemed to make all the difference.

    In which city did Gooey Butter Cake originate?

    • 33% St. Louis
    • 16% Baltimore
    • 39% New Orleans
    • 12% Chicago

    A hallmark of the city of St. Louis, gooey butter cake almost certainly originated in the southern part of town, where most of the German bakers lived in the past. It is a flat cake consisting of wheat flour, butter, sugar, and eggs. The cake is traditionally garnished with powdered sugar and a few raspberries. Sweet, dense, and firm, it is similar in texture to a brownie. Originally, it was invented by a baker in the 1930s who was making a yellow cake but put in too much sugar, butter, or shortening. As those were the times of the Depression, he couldn't throw away the gooey, sticky mess, so he sold it, and the consumers wanted more and more. Some versions of the cake incorporate cream cheese, cherries, or pineapple slices in the cake, but if you ask any St. Louisan, it's not the real deal until you try the original in St. Louis.

    Which famous chef said, "With enough butter, anything is good"?

    • 12% Anthony Bourdain
    • 4% Auguste Escoffier
    • 1% Francis Mallmann
    • 83% Julia Child

    It’s hard to deny just how much Julia Child taught us about cooking. But perhaps one of the most valuable things she instilled in us is her appreciation for butter — and lots of it. Julia famously said, “With enough butter, anything is good.” She ferociously loved butter at a time when most people in the United States were completely afraid of it. Now, as the times have changed, we’re beginning to see exactly what she saw: Real butter isn’t such a bad thing after all, particularly if enjoyed in moderation, along with everything else.

Shelton & Company became such a popular attraction that it later became a permanent attraction.

    In which U.S. state was the butter burger most likely invented?

    • 68% Wisconsin
    • 13% Oklahoma
    • 16% Louisiana
    • 3% New Mexico

    Wisconsin's messy contribution to the world of burgers is called butter burger. For some, a butter burger is authentic when the ground meat is combined with butter. For others, it's when the bun is buttered, toasted, and topped with some more butter before serving. The only thing that everyone can agree on is that there must be enough butter to drip off the meat, which will usually form a small pool of butter on one's plate. A theory says that the name comes from a place called Solly's in Glendale, Wisconsin, operating since 1936, where the butter is added to the meat that is, again, fried in butter, and served with a side of stewed onions. A mainstay of greasy diners throughout Wisconsin, butter burger may not be good for one's health, but it will certainly satiate one's hunger.
