I know lots of people complain about American-centric questions and lots of Americans couldn't care less about the complaints of others, but it's really not necessary to make a quiz about such general things and include a question like "City in Wisconsin".

You're right we don't care. Why would it matter if the city is in Wisconsin? If the clue was "city in Scotland" or "city in Norway" or "city in Australia" or "city in Argentina" I promise not a single American would whine about it. Green Bay is a city with a metro population over 300,000 people, it's one of the most famous cities in Wisconsin, home to an NFL franchise, and an important industrial city. The United States exists. Get over it.

The Green Bay Packers, led by coach Vince Lombardi, won the first Superbowl in 1967 so it's part of our sports history. Those who follow soccer/football in the rest of the world would probably know who won the first World Cup so it isn't an unreasonable question, just America-centric.

I tried several other body parts and personality traits, but never got Green Thumb - being a Brit, as the clues point to, I think of gardening people being green fingered (I am the opposite - I can simply look at a plant and it dies).

Also didn’t get Green Beans. The export of US TV and cinema has allowed for me to pick up on a fair number of the traditions around Thanksgiving, but not that one (although fans of Friends could have got Green Bay from a Thanksgiving episode of the show, where Phoebe feigns interest in a football game on TV to avoid having to help Monica in the kitchen, proclaiming Green Bay to be her “favourite bay”). However, the only American cultural reference I can think of for Green Beans is from The West Wing, where the staff were dealing with a throwaway comment someone had made about President Bartlet not liking that particular veg, and how that might play to voters in Oregon. So, “type of bean grown a lot in Oregon” would have worked for me as a clue :-)

I'm from the American Midwest, where casseroles are ubiquitous, but I've never had casserole at Thanksgiving. Casserole is easy to make; you combine a whole meal's worth of ingredients in a dish and bake them all together. It's for when you want a low-effort meal, not Thanksgiving dinner. Where do people eat casserole for Thanksgiving?
