Global Guilty Pleasures: Answers

Liver and a bottle of wine.

Did you know where to find all these cool taste treats? Then your next party should be a blast. Be sure to serve a hearty beer or good wine with all that.

Fill in the blanks.

  1. Does your sweet tooth exceed all reasonable bounds? Try baklava from Greece.
  2. Try sweet and greasy. We can blame the whole country of Scotland for the deep-fried Mars Bar.
  3. Still sweet…the Ottoman Empire gave us rahat lokum.
  4. Do you prefer your sybaritic pleasures on the stinky side? Camembert and Brie come from France.
  5. How about really stinky? Stinky to the max? Sample chou doufu, or stinky tofu, from China.
  6. The more discerning gourmand may insist on piscine delights. In Iceland, they bury the shark for years in volcanic soil, just to get a taste treat.
  7. Salty fish eggs? Really? A major source of caviar is Russia.
  8. Africa is the go-to continent for peanut butter soup. Not so guilty, this pleasure: it's nutritious and eco-friendly.
  9. Is hot chocolate your favourite indulgence? First documented in 1750 BCE in Central America.
  10. Do you drool over macademia nuts? Thank the folks in Australia. It's bush tucker.

Did that quiz set you drooling? Go out and find some of your favourite food. Better yet, head for the kitchen and whip something up. Once you have, send the recipe to Peer Review. With your own story about why eating it is a guilty pleasure.
