    What is prosciutto?

    • 16% Cheese
    • 4% Fish
    • 77% Ham
    • 3% Champagne

    Prosciutto crudo, in English often shortened to prosciutto is Italian uncooked, unsmoked, and dry-cured ham. Prosciutto crudo is usually served thinly sliced. In Italian, prosciutto means any kind of ham, either dry-cured (prosciutto crudo or simply crudo) or cooked (prosciutto cotto), but in English-speaking countries, it usually means either Italian prosciutto crudo or similar hams made elsewhere. However, the word "prosciutto" itself is not protected; cooked ham may legally be, and in practice is, sold as prosciutto (usually as prosciutto cotto, and from Italy or made in the Italian style) in English-speaking regions.

    Which of these meals contains seafood?

    • 99% Sushi
    • 0% Philly Cheesesteak
    • 1% Gnocchi
    • 0% Chili

    Sushi is a Japanese dish featuring specially prepared rice and usually some type of fish or seafood, often raw, but sometimes cooked. And though you might automatically associate the word sushi with raw fish, it's actually the rice that is the most important ingredient. Indeed, the word "sushi" refers to the sour flavor of the vinegared rice. Regardless of the toppings or fillings, sushi always includes rice. As a matter of fact, sushi rice is so important that sushi chefs in Japan undergo years of training just to learn how to cook the rice properly, before they ever begin to handle any fish or seafood.

    Which of these staples of Italian cuisine is a type of pasta?

    • 5% Cannoli
    • 94% Spaghetti
    • 1% Panettone
    • 0% Tiramisu

    Spaghetti is a thin, straight, cylindrical type of pasta of Italian origin, the most popular of all pastas eaten today. Noodles made of wheat and eggs were known in the Mediterranean world in antiquity, but the pasta we know as spaghetti—which takes its name from the Italian spaghetto, “little cord”—was probably introduced to Sicily by the island’s Arab conquerors in the 8th century. The name was first recorded in 1874, however, suggesting that spaghetti may have remained a regional dish until shortly after the unification of Italy. Spaghetti was likely eaten with butter and cheese until about that time too; although the tomato was introduced to Italy as part of the Columbian Exchange, it was not widely eaten until the 19th century.

They are traditionally served hot, along with celery sticks and carrot sticks with blue cheese dressing or, primarily outside of New York, ranch dressing for dipping.

    Which of these is used to fill the typical Thanksgiving pie?

    • 1% Broccoli
    • 1% Bell pepper
    • 98% Pumpkin
    • 0% Spinach

    Closely tied to harvest festivals that date back centuries, Thanksgiving makes use of all the vegetables that are traditionally harvested at this time of year. That means lots of root vegetables. These are vegetables that grow in the ground, under the soil, rather than above ground, or on trees or plants. So that means potatoes of all kinds, parsnips, carrots, squash, yams, and the most popular Thanksgiving veg – pumpkins. As well as serving up pumpkin as a vegetable, people also like to sweeten their mashed pumpkin to use as a delicious filling for this traditional Thanksgiving pie.

    What type of food is "ramen" in Japan?

    • 4% Raw fish
    • 1% Cream cheese
    • 4% Rice with meat
    • 91% Noodle soup

    Ramen is a type of Japanese noodle soup. Once a simple street food, it’s now become a gourmet phenomenon around the world. Every bowl of ramen has three main components: broth, noodles, and toppings. Although it’s unclear exactly when ramen first appeared in Japan, historians believe 19th-century Chinese immigrants brought an early version of it with them to Japan. Originally nicknamed “Chuka soba,” early ramen was a simple dish consisting of noodles in broth topped with roast pork. It became popular in port cities like Yokohama and Nagasaki, where workers would buy it from food carts, or “yatai,” and Chinese restaurants. Rairaiken, the first true ramen shop, opened in Asakusa, Tokyo, in 1910. With the invention of the industrial noodle machine later that decade, ramen quickly became a symbol of Japan’s urbanization.

    • 2% Strawberry
    • 95% Key lime
    • 0% Chocolate

Florida statute 15.052, passed in July 2006, designates Key lime pie "the official Florida state pie".

    What type of meat is used in a Coq-Au-Vin?

    • 20% Duck
    • 20% Lamb
    • 49% Chicken

Traditional recipes call for a whole cut-up chicken, but using all dark meat gives you a particularly succulent dish without the risk of overcooked white meat.

Its three toppings even represent the Italian flag, with white mozzarella, green basil leaves, and red tomato. It goes without saying that the Margherita pizza is one of the most iconic dishes in all of the Mediterranean countries.

    • 13% Japan
    • 51% Belgium

According to lore, the dish was born in Belgium in the winter of 1680, when the fried fish-loving denizens of a city called Namur had to find something else to cook when the local river froze over.
