    old as the bird, and if the bird's breasts had been as full as the
    waitress's, it would have been a very good dinner."

    I got the raisin one; I missed the "dab" question and the sweetbreads
    one (I thought it was the 1st stomach of a calf, and the pig stomach
    thing was the closest)

    WooHoo! I got them all....do I get a prize? 🙂

    Ok, I actually guessed on the zakuski, choosing my answer because, well, it
    sounded like a Russian word to me. But I did know the rest, I swear! lol

    I was kind of surprised to read through and see how many had missed that.
    Sand Dabs (lightly breaded, hence the "sand" or so I'm told) are on the
    menu at King's, or I probably would have missed it too 😉

    9/10---the raisins nailed me. I'm just good at multiple choice. I
    certainly did a lot of guessing.

    I missed the raisin question because I disagree with their answer: Dried
    Thompson grapes are called GOLDEN raisins (or sultanas), while dried Zante
    grapes are given the merchandising term "currants," even though they're not
    REAL currants. So let's just say that we were right and they were wrong.
    That gives me a perfect score. :-)

    Then I have 9 out of 10 -- I thought the Russian thing was too obvious;
    obviously, I was wrong. ;o)

    Not according to their blurb about it - sultanas and raisins can be from the
    same grapes, but sultanas use a different drying process... oh fugg it -
    cut'n'pasted:

    "Sultanas or "white raisins" are lighter in color, although they may be made
    from the same grape varieties. They undergo a different drying process that
    includes treating with sulfur dioxide to retain the golden color."

    Well dabs are quite small fish so you have no excuse.
