Couldn't spell 'andouille' for the life of me so figured I was wrong. Nope, just can't spell.

There's actually a difference - it depends on where it's manufactured, much like whiskey vs whisky. Sans 'e' usually means central/eastern Europe, Bohemian style. With 'e' usually means western Europe/elsewhere (typically France).

If it isn't already, the answer should be accepted without the 'e' (I can't recall if it did).

Aubergine and Andouille were the easiest for me as a French speaker :)... Also I always say "Aspargus"... just learnt it's "AspaRAgus"... my English is getting better! :)

I always thought that tequila was made from the leaves, but I found out that all the leaves are chopped off and the bulbous base of the agave holds a soccer-ball size of white pulp.

As fas as I remember: the leaves can be used to create clothes and paper. Also, during the Prehispanic Era, the leaves were turned into thatch for the humble houses.

I never knew there was another name for arugula. Good thing this wasn't a letter R quiz. I never would have gotten rocket.

In New Zealand I have never seen acorn squash (and never heard of it). We have something that looks very similar called buttercup.

I've seen buttercup squash but never grown it. I grew acorn squash once but they were too hard to cut open and I found them stringy and less flavorful than butternut. Someone suggested poking holes in them and baking them whole in the oven, but I even had trouble gouging a few holes in them. Maybe I should trying growing buttercup - do you recommend them? If I'm lucky I might get a couple before the squash bugs and squash vine borers decimate them.

@ander217 You just poke them with a fork to make the holes. Acorn is okay, but kabocha is where it's really at if you want a great nutty orange flesh squash. You can bake, roast, steam or stew it, and the entire skin is completely edible so it's less work.

I've never seen it either. My first thought was 'butternut', then I thought, 'this is an A quiz'.

Some sense of scale would help, like an image of allspice in a spoon. I was peering at the magnified image wondering, what in hell are those! :P

It was a question of scale for me. I'm very familiar with allspice, but I thought it was some kind of berry or fruit because there was no size referent.

I am embarrassed to admit how old I was when I learnt that allspice is its own spice, and not a blend of "all" spices.

The andouille is misleading for a European, because a French andouille is a large andouillette and it doesn't resemble the Louisiana style andouille sausage at all.

Still, it's all about the learning, and I have done that.

I had never heard of or seen an acorn squash either.

Thanks to Lenny and George for knowledge of alfalfa.
