| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Jul 04 11:28PM These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2023-06-05, and should be interpreted accordingly. On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty. Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup, based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal the correct answers in about 3 days. All questions were written by members of Bloor St. Irregulars and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information please see my 2023-05-24 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)". * Game 4, Round 4 - Miscellaneous - Sausages of the World What did the Buddha say to the hot-dog vendor? "Make me one with everything." Unless otherwise stated, in each case name the relevant sausage. 1. In Polish this word refers to any kind of sausage, but in North America it typically refers to a mild U-shaped pork sausage. A 42-foot-tall version stands outside Mundare, Alberta. 2. The bulk of this Italian sausage is finely ground pork, but its distinctive appearance is due to the cubes of hard pork fat that make up 15% of its volume. 3. The Spanish version of this pork sausage is spiced with paprika. The Mexican version is crumblier and much spicier and is an ingredient in many Mexican dishes. 4. This sausage is originally from northern France, but a much spicier evolution of has become a key part of Cajun cuisine. 5. In Germany this word refers to many different varieties of pork sausage, but in the Midwestern US it refers to a fatty pork sausage, usually grilled and served on a bun, popular at sporting events. 6. In Toronto we have hot-dog carts. In Berlin the street vendors will typically be selling <answer 5>s with a distinctive spicy ketchup-based sauce, sold by this name. 7. Apparently the name comes from this sausage's tendency to burst its casing during cooking. What are these British sausages often paired with mashed potatoes? 8. If you order a Scottish breakfast you will find that the traditional Lorne sausage is what unusual shape? 9. Probably for legal reasons, manufacturer ConAgra refers to this snack food as "meat sticks" rather than sausages; but "Snap into a Meat Stick" isn't a great slogan. What is this sausage-like snack introduced in 1929? 10. The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council has answered "No"; John Hodgman and Merriam-Webster have answered "Yes". Asked for a decision in 2018, Ruth Bader Ginsburg gave a nuanced judgement. What is this much-debated question about hot dogs? * Game 4, Round 6 - Entertainment - TV Game-Show Hosts We name one or more game shows and give a range of dates for each. You name the person who hosted that show during the period indicated. Note that this is not generally not a complete list of credits for each host. 1. "The Gong Show" (1976-80). 2. "Family Feud" (2010-present). 3. "Family Feud Canada" (2019-present). 4. "Rock and Roll Jeopardy!" (1998-2001). 5. "Only Connect" (on BBC4) (2008-present). 6. "Deal or No Deal" (2005-09 and 2018-19). 7. "Tic Tac Dough" (1978-85). Hint: His given name is Winston but he is best known by his nickname. 8. "Headline Hunters" (1972-83), "Card Sharks" (1978-81), "Sale of the Century" (1983-89), and "Definition" (1975-89). 9. "The Weakest Link" (airing on BBC2) (2000-12). Hint: on the "Doctor Who" parody version of the show, the host was the Anne Droid. 10. "Snatch Game" (2010-present). Note: This parody game show within a reality competition has many international versions, but we are looking for the original US host. -- Mark Brader | "The right thinks the individual Toronto | isn't important enough to make the decisions msb@vex.net | and the left thinks that decisions are | too important to be left to the individual." --Nick Atty My text in this article is in the public domain. |
