I did too, although I tried "qs" and "q's" first before I realized that the fact that pEAS being spelled out didn't fit with where my little brain was going. It would have been a good one to have on this quiz though!
Not US "chips", UK chips that would be called fries in US (though not in the fish and chip places I know are there) They should be thicker and chunkier than fries to be good and proper chips though.
They are then served with fish dipped in batter and deep fried.
That is how fish go with chips, salted of course. Vinegar, Mushy peas and sauce optional.
I got Chutes and ... as a guess. Something about it sounds like a game. But if you think about it, it's possible to imagine "Chutes and ..." as an alternative version of the board game for British people, but what do Americans think when they hear that we call it "Snakes and ...."? The answer to your question is, yes, we draw various snakes on the board which you slide down.
Common expression for Plants & Animals, but I've never heard of Peas & Carrots, Red Beans & Rice and Chutes & Ladders. (I've heard of Snakes & Ladders)
really? I seriously never have been more surprised ( no offence). I don't think there are many pairs that are more, I dont know, taguht/wellknown/gong together. Cant really describe it butmit is one that is allways said in the same breath. Unlike black, that can be used in many ways. But with flora the fauna is allways there ( even if it is not mentioned).
I second King and Country; it sounds quite stilted to say "king and queen" as a standalone statement like the others. It lends itself much more to using the definite article beforehand, as in "the king and the queen," whereas "king and country" is like all of the other entries in the quiz which need no article.
never heard of the lamb peas and beans ones. Must be a regional thing. But peanutbutter and jelly and tea and crumpets is regional too I guess, but I did guess those. But they are more talked about/mentioned in popculture I guess.
Me: yin... and tonic! Huh, no? Respells tonic... huh? Oww. (Not sure how yin is pronounced in english, but this time I read it as gin.. I have plenty of excuses! Not english speaker, the sun is just up, got quite the fever and didnt get much zzz, and I guess I could use a drink haha
