Five Letter Geography #4

Greetings from #13!

You should also allow Meaux for the mustard question. That's the good stuff.

Miauw?

Wasted a lot of time guessing 5-letter Italian cities that might have been the birthplace of espresso, before reading the question properly. Doh!

'Shire' is not archaic.

When was the last time you used shire then (not including in a county name as they're old words that just haven't changed.)

Daily! It's very common in Australia.

I think you should change the Muhammad one to "They city where Muhammad was born." I was confused if it was asking for the country. I know it was obvious that it was Mecca but still, just to make it a bit more clear.

and there's a credible theory that he was born in Petra

That confused me, too, at first. I couldn't figure out how to make the country into five letters. I think because the first question asked for a country my mind was already going there. Silly mind.

Good quiz! But I would question including the magma question. More of a geology question than a geography one.

Everything is geography, don't even bring it up.

I guess the question about the Amish is technically correct, as most Amish currently live in the United States. However, the Amish did not originate there. The Amish movement began in Switerland and Alsace in the 17th century, as a group that split from the Mennonites of the region. They are named after their initial leader, Jakob Ammann.

Definitely the easiest of the series. The only one that I had to guess at was Apia, but that wasn't hard to do. Nice bit of ego massaging after struggling with the previous ones!
