People actually read and responded my last foodie trivia game! Craziness.

I was so excited that I decided to continue my little game. So, here are some more foodie questions…and this time we’re getting serious…there will be an announced prize involved this time. The first person to comment with all 6 correct answers will receive a dozen cookies of their choice. Good luck!

Here are the 6 categories in the Foodie Fight game.

Foodiesphere: food people, cuisines and places

Food Stars: Food on film and in print, music and art

Company’s Coming: Party planning, table etiquette, wine and food pairing

Lab and Field: Cooking science, nutrition, and food preparation

Dining Out: Eateries, chefs, menu matters, and restaurant service

What’s Cooking?: Cooking techniques, tools, and ingredients

Here we go…get your thinking caps on folks…and try not to Google all the answers. I am a teacher and I would be sorely disappointed in the person who made the decision to cheat…
