And here it is, the last one- Question VIII:
Many of the foods and dishes most of us are quite familiar with have rather different sources than we think- pasta is not Italian, it came from China, for example- and the dish we know as 'French Toast' isn't either; the recipe, white bread soaked in a mixture of beaten eggs and milk, fried in oil, then served covered with honey, appears in DE RE COQVINARIA (VII), a 1st century CE book of recipes by a man called APICIVS- True or False?
Thanks to all who played along
Remember, you only have until 2359(Pacific Daylight Time) 30. June, 2009 to answer, after which time the scores will be tallied and the first three prizes allocated. A draw by random lot from the remaining entrants will determine the final two prize winners, and all will be announced on 1. July.
