About Australian Food

How well do you know Australian food -- the spreads and pies and sweets, the pub meals, the drinks, the coffee, and the migrant and native ingredients that fill an Australian plate? This quiz has fifty questions in two packs of twenty-five, written the way people search: what is Vegemite, why is it called a democracy sausage, who is the lamington named after, what fish is flake, which beer is really only popular overseas.

The answer is always one of four choices of the same kind, and the question never gives it away. A short note after each answer adds the background -- a date, a place, a person, a story.

The first pack covers the icons: Vegemite and the meat pie and the pie floater, the lamington and pavlova and Anzac biscuit, the Tim Tam and fairy bread and the Chiko Roll, the sausage sizzle and the Golden Gaytime, Weet-Bix and Milo and the Iced VoVo, damper and witchetty grubs, kangaroo and barramundi and the Moreton Bay bug, the macadamia, and the iSnack 2.0 misfire. The second pack covers meals and drinks: the barbecue and the burger with the lot, the chicken parma, flake and the flat white, smashed avo and the Starbucks retreat, the halal snack pack and the yiros and yum cha, VB and Foster's and XXXX, beer glass names and the shout, Penfolds Grange and the Barossa and cask wine, Bundaberg, Devonshire tea and smoko, and Modern Australian cooking.

About a fifth of the questions carry a photograph tied to the subject of the question, chosen so it does not reveal the answer. Every fact has been checked.
