I have been posting old food quizzes here from my other blog, which I am going to close down eventually as it takes a lot of time maintaining two blogs. This Food Quiz Number 70 is the most recent one, set by my friend Pink. If you would like to give it a try, click here for the questions, and do the answers on your own blog, and let Pink know. If you are just interested in learning something, then carry on reading! These are my answers, and all of them are done without referring to external sources, including google. I will edit the post when Pink posts the answers so that you can go and see what they are.

Well done – I´d struggle to answer a lot of these without looking them up!
I took a few guesses 🙂
I learnt a few more things thanks to your quiz!
that is great!
Now I’ve seen your excellent answers, Tandy, I’m precluded for doing the quiz. It’s just as well, because i only knew a very few of the correct answers. 😉
then it is a good thing I posted first!
I didn’t know any of the answers to those questions!
this was a hard one 🙂
Sometimes I’d have a better chance of finishing the New York TImes crossword puzzle than answering these right!
That crossword is legendary 🙂
Always learning something on your blog, Tandy.
