I enjoy trivia and TV shows like Jeopardy, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, and Cash Cab.  They give my brain a workout and boost myself esteem when I get it right.  When I’m wrong, at least I’ve learned or relearned something.  In that spirit,  here is this week’s 10-question travel quiz from CNN.  It is devoted to a subject near and dear to my heart, food and drink.

The only rules are don’t get the answers from Google or CNN.  Asking friends and family is okay.

I am taking the quiz and reporting my score in parentheses after each question. √ means I got it right. X means I missed it.  Multiple guess choice questions show the percentage correct.

You can answer some or all questions in the comments (preferred) or take the quiz in your head.

Good luck!
