"Correct!
Happy holidays to all!
Your final score is 10 out of 10 questions."

So what do I win?

Praise and admiration from all 🙂

Becca gets to answer another 10 questions.

Are you drunk yet, Andy?

I missed the ones on basting and stollen.
It makes me want to keep basting turkeys the way I've always
done and to try making stollen for the first time.

I missed one ... but then, I've never even eaten stollen, how
would I guess that answer?

From seeing it for sale in grocery stores and catalogs for ever?
It is good. You'd like it.

What'd you think, Becca? I got a perfect score and didn't think the
questions were difficult. Fun, though.

Stupid quizzes! How am I supposed to know all this below the Mason
Dixon line [censored]?!?

Stollen is a below the Mason Dixon line thing? Sorry Andy, that just
doesn't make sense!

Hmmm... that reminds me.... time to head down to the German deli and get
some Stollen for the holidays. It is one of my favourite Christmas treats.

Speaking of which.... it is probably time to make my light fruit cake for
Christmas too.

Strufoli! It is time to think strufoli!
I'm actually a freak in that I like fruit cake too. I never make it but
I eat it and like it a lot.
Stollen is good. I have always purchased it also.

I looked at images, it's what I know to be stollen but it doesn't
make me want to try it, or think there are almonds in there.
But, if I come across one this season, I will try it on the strength
of your recommendation.

Same here. Nothing was unusual. I have no idea why Andy thinks the
Mason-Dixon line even comes into it...?

LOL, oh great.. then you can blame me if you buy an old stale one?
They're not sickeningly sweet, so they're good with hot coffee and tea.
In fact...doesn't Enntamens (sp) make some? Hmmmmmm?

They might. They probably do. I'll look.

Why not get a stollfrupan? That's a longish piece of
marzipan stuffed inside a fruitcake stuffed inside a
stollen. :-)

Oh great, a fat-free stollen. Sawdust would be cheaper,
and have more flavor.

Huh? Where did "Fat Free" come into the discussion?

Darn, I only got 9 out of 10. Chestnuts roasting on an open fire? I
thought it was chipmunks.

Chipmunks eats chestnuts. I would have given it to you.

I thought for sure it was going to ding me for the [lack of]
basting turkey question, but they actually got it right!

Yeah...I cringed on that one as well.

Somehow, I don;t feel so impressed with myself on a perfect score..
I guessed the stollen one.
