    • 52% Guacamole
    • 13% Croissant

Avocados were a favorite food in the area, and the Aztecs loved their “ahuaca-mulli” or avocado mixture. With time, the Spanish pronunciation changed the name of this dish to guacamole.

    • 2% Chicken fingers

Typically eaten with salt and vinegar, variations range from chips and curry to meaty chips and gravy. French-speaking countries such as France and Belgium use the term "frites," short for "pommes frites" ― which itself is an abbreviation of "pommes de terre frites," or fried potatoes. Thanks to the popularity of French cuisine around the globe, you've probably seen frites listed on menus as part of dishes like steak-frites (steak and fries) and moules-frites (mussels and fries).

    In which country did pizza originate?

    • 3% France
    • 15% United States
    • 0% Finland
    • 82% Italy

    Pizza was first invented in Naples, Italy as a fast, affordable, tasty meal for working-class Neapolitans on the go. While we all know and love these slices of today, pizza actually didn’t gain mass appeal until the 1940s, when immigrating Italians brought their classic slices to the United States. While topped flatbreads were consumed in ancient Egypt and Rome, Italians are credited as the people who invented pizza first. During the 1700s and 1800s, Naples was a bustling waterfront city, especially near the shore, where overcrowding and primarily outdoor living forced locals to find quick, easy ways to feed their families. Pizza became a common dish because of its limited ingredients and handy portability, but it was considered a street food for the poor, and unsuitable for the upper class.

    What staple ingredient in Italian Cuisine is originally from America?

    • 6% Olives
    • 15% Basil
    • 61% Tomato
    • 18% Wheat

    From Bolognese sauce to lasagna to parmigiana, it is virtually impossible to imagine Italian cuisine without tomatoes. Yet as with chili peppers in India, potatoes in Ireland, and peanuts in Southeast Asia, Italians have only had tomatoes for a few hundred years. Tomato was originally cultivated in Central and South America, where the Aztecs and other pre-Columbian civilizations had used it in their dishes for centuries. The word “tomato” comes from the Nahuatl “tomatl,” meaning “fruit.” When the Spanish Empire conquered the region, they brought the tomato back to Europe along with other local fruits, vegetables, and animals. Though it is not known exactly when the tomato reached Italy, it must have been some time before 1544, when Italian author Pietro Matthioli wrote about it. Matthioli, however, believed that the fruit was poisonous. For this reason, Italians were slow to adapt it into their cooking, instead using tomato plants for decoration.
