Who doesn't love eating? More than just for sustenance, food has become a source of comfort, a means to socialize, and, even, a way to showcase one's talents. For something of such importance, we aren't actually aware of many facts about food. Here are some for you to digest.
Even if you're a fan of the modern pound cake, you may not know that it got its name from the amount of each ingredient needed to make it initially - a pound each of butter, eggs, sugar, and flour! If you're ever in a situation where you need to know if a cranberry is ripe, try bouncing it, because a ripe one will bounce like a rubber ball. Finally, did you know that apples and strawberries actually fall under Rosaceae, the same plant family as roses?
In this quiz, let us test your knowledge of food. Answer the following tricky questions correctly and you can continue enjoying food. If not, we're sorry, but you need to give up eating!
