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?
