Foods by Picture

When I was writing something while taking this quiz,my book was full of water.YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS FROM MY TEACHER!

It's a great quiz, some I've never seen or tried, others I just blanked on.

I LOVE SAMOSAS!!!! The best Indian snack there is!!!

Yum!

65% OF PEOPLE DID NOT GET SAMOSAS! AGHHHH

I tried dumplings and wontons, even tried fried ravioli and tortellini. Have never seen a samosa but I would like to try one.

They look like crab rangoon to me. I tried wontons as well.

am 37 only heard of it this year. And that was on a show where they did a challenge abroad

Correction:- It's not Indian, It was first made in central Asia

Yet when you enter caviar it gives 'Fish Eggs', Prosciutto should give 'Ham', it's the same thing.

I couldn't spell cwassount

How about shawarma for kebab? It's what we call them in Canada.

I'm hungry now.

Can't you just accept "sandwich"? I mean it's a sandwich...

Salt beef sandwich perhaps ?

Did anyone else think the prosciutto picture was serrano ham?

Have had all these things except beef wellington, but couldn't figure out what prosciutto or samosa were... they look so much like any number of other similar foods. Actually samosas originated in the Middle East according to Wikipedia, so it seems unfair that I missed that one because I typed in "sambosa"... which is what they are called there.

Still no love for sambosa/sambusa/etc?

This. Can the USA enlighten us as to the other types of sprouts? I have a friend in Kansas who blanked when I told her about sprouts, but when I added "Brussels" she knew exactly what I meant.

^ I would call them "bean sprouts". That's interesting, that "sprout" on its own should be used differently in the two countries.

"samoosa", in my travels is the more common spelling, please accept as well. Thanks for the quiz.

I thought it was Crème Brûlée too.

I agree.

It's usually Döner Kebab (with the b) in Germany too but I believe Kebap is an alternative spelling. Either way Kebab/Kebap just means grilled or fried meat. The funny part is we usually call it just Döner, though that only describes that the meat is spinning (on a stick) as seen in the picture.

Kebap is the modern Turkish name (if you said kebabs, it would be kebablar - the p is only a -p at the end of a word.).

Candy corn? What is this?!

I have never seen that in my life before.

Or that Reuben sandwich.

It is good to learn new things :-)

I'd take the Reuben over the Candy Corn any day of the week. I'm going to get a Reuben for lunch now because I took this quiz.

Candy Corn is a delicious Halloween snack.

Yum, candy corn. Ingredients are sugar, corn syrup, confectioner's glaze, salt, dextrose, gelatin, sesame oil, artificial flavor, honey, Yellow 6, Yellow 5, and Red 3. (Just what all growing kids need.) I've been seeing candy corn show up at Easter, too, with the colors changed to pastel pinks greens, yellows, or purples. There's also a red, white, and blue version, and another autumn version that has a brown chocolate flavor for the bottom layer. There's also a truffle bark recipe making the rounds that calls for melted candy corn substituted for the chocolate mint layer.

If you stack candy corn in a circle with the yellow part on the outside it looks like corncob.

I think it is or might be indeed just from the usa. But still, I have heard it sooo often.

looks like fancy earplugs to me, never heard of it

It's gross is what it is.

I know it because of a boost in Rocket League...

Okay, now I'm really hungry.

Accept rangoon for Samosa???

Rangoons are most definitely NOT samosas.

Really? That's not creme brulee?

No, a Crème brûlée would have to be served in a ramekin and would have a hard crunchy sugar topping to it which you have to break through with your spoon, the picture shows a Crème caramel (here in the UK anyway) which is soft caramel in the bottom of a ramekin, pour over custard, let it set and then turn it out onto a plat upside down like in the pic. A Flan in the UK is something completely different so I was really confused when that came up when I typed in Crème caramel!

So what makes it different from a panna cotta?

In the US, flan is the same as other's creme caramel. It's often served in Mexican restaurants. Caramelize sugar and make a syrup, then pour in a ramekin or baking dish. Spoon in egg custard and bake. Invert to serve so the syrup runs over it. Some add whipped cream on top. Panna cotta contains cream, sugar, and gelatin but no eggs. Flan contains eggs and no gelatin.

I've never seen flan that used pastry. It's exactly what Ander described.

That's not a creme brulee (hard layer of burnt sugar on top), but a creme caramel (runny layer of burnt sugar on top). Flan in European-English derives from a High German word for a flat cake, via French, and technically means a dish with an open pastry or sponge case. Typically the meaning is narrower due to most dishes that could be called flan being called quiches or tarts or pies*. Flan in American-English takes an extra step via Spanish. Despite having a perfectly good word or three for custard anyway, the Spanish decided to call custard-based dishes flans even if they don't have a case around them - probably as quiches have a savoury custard, as do custard tarts/flans patissier. *A flan in England is typically a sponge base with a raised edge topped with fruit and sometimes jelly or cream as well. But it is also used for quiche-like dishes occasionally (quiche seems to have been a high-class word 50 years ago and some still won't use it).

Surprised only 9% got bibimbap, I guess that's what I get for living in Seattle

That kiwi looks like some kind of disease

That kiwifruit looks lovely!

The samosa looks a lot like fried wonton. I did get samosa eventually, but I tried about 10 versions of "wonton" before I focused on the sauce and realized it was a samosa instead.

please accept different spellings such as prosciutto

Did anyone else just have a strong urge to eat some of the things on the list after taking it? I don't know about y'all, but I suddenly want some deviled eggs and candy corn. Obviously not together though, that would be nasty.

No pots complaure a tothom!

should probably accept wonton as a another answer for sambosa

Jamon should be accepted

Serrano ham or parma ham should work too

Not when it's Italian ham. Jamon is a Spanish word. Likewise serrano ham.

It's essentially the same thing though

the korean guy that gets everything but the korean dish

All but the candy corn. Had no idea. Happy to be corrected, but I don't think they exist in Australia.

worst photo ever for a tiramisu!

and yet 78% of people got it. hmmm

It looks like a nice little layer cake. I've never had a tiramisu that didn't look like it wasn't half-destroyed.

Only missed the beef dish. Never had that one before.

shish tawook is different. That's whole chunks of grilled chicken served on a skewer. Doner/shawarma is as pictured, with some of the meat on a spit shaved off to put in a wrap.

Judging from the comments you took off bibimbap... which I would have gotten immediately... and maybe added some weird mushroom I've never seen nor heard of before.

They're a wild mushroom that grows in North America, China and south Asia. Usually they're picked in April when conditions are right. Very delicious!

That's not a tiramisù. That picture is offensive, disrespectful and blasphemous. I think you should go to jail.

how about just caramel? Oh go on.....

Has anyone here ever tried candy corn? If so could they let me know what it tastes like?

Chewy, sweet, bland, sort of crumbly.

it tastes like corn syrup that's been left out on the kitchen counter for 6 months and semi-hardened.

Corn syrup, vanilla, and honey flavors. It includes gelatin in the ingredients, but the texture is waxy, not spongy like marshmallows. There are recipes online if you want to make your own.

thanks

despair.

This is very american-biased

Yeah... beef wellington, flan, croissants, churros, prosciutto, doner kebab, unagi, sambosa, caviar.. those are all the things I think of first when thinking about stereotypical American cuisine unheard of outside the USA.

I'm Brittish and vegetarian, so I didn't get many of the American and meat ones, but I got a few. Good quiz.

Some Italians would kill for calling this thing a Tiramisu. It's not even close

Yes, exactly. Smoked meat or pastrami sandwich should be accepted. I've never heard of a Reuben.

If you like tasty and delicious quizzes, you might want to try Country by foods Picture Quiz

Yes. It looks like eel sushi. It was instantly recognizable to me. If you haven't had much sushi it would be pretty hard to recognize.

Just use your UNAGI *points two fingers at his temple*.

got 17 idk reuben sandwich looked it up. Didn't get tiramisu, although I have heard of it, unagi or morel

The cheese image isn't Mozarella, it's Bocconcini. You should correct that as it isn't the same type of cheese at all. Even your source says that it is Bocconcini

You're wrong, "bocconcini" are just one of the many shapes mozarella cheese can have. Nothing wrong with that image.

Agreed. Bocconcini is immature mozzarella, and that's what is pictured here. I wrote it a bunch of times thinking I was spelling it wrong, and then gave up and wrote mozzarella. Please can you accept bocconcini as well? The photo even depicts the traditional size of bocconcini (which translates to "little mouthfuls").

agree with others, I was trying so many ways to spell bocconcini neglected to think of mozzarella which is larger.

I was trying some hybrid word between prosciutto and bruschetta

Isn't that also nori on top of the rice?

Never heard of Candy Corn before - What a weird world we live in... ^^

bocconcini should be accepted for the cheese picture

I know its not right, but please add orbeez for fish eggs

wrote chorizo instead of churros... knew something wasnt right... couldnt recall. Kind of dissapointed at the term fish eggs instead of caviar. yes they are fish eggs, but you dont have just "meat" for the prosciutto one. I know it isnt exactly the same thing but still.

I could tell you where to find morels but then I would have to kill you. (Hint, never let your pigs run in the woods where wild morels grow. A lesson learned the hard way.)

I was so disheartened after “crescent roll” didn’t take, because I’d finally have to learn how to spell croissant. Also, never guessed the caviar because I was convinced that it was the tapioca balls from bubble tea. That would be the worst milk tea ever!

Those looked like boiled eggs that should be accepted too thou they had the red thing on it

Surprised by the high average score - I only got 8/20.

The mozzarella picture is wrong. Thats actually bocconcini cheese.

Chili is a pretty broad category though, including Anaheims, serranos, poblanos, cayennes and many others. The picture is specifically jalapeno.

Great quiz, I haven't heard of most of them :)
