Could someone please explain the Paris answer? What is a bourse, and how do air show and commune relate?

Bourse is also related to 2 monuments in Paris : Palais Brongniart located in Place la Bourse and La Bourse du Commerce. Related indeed to stock exchange ;)

Also a subway station name

The Bourse is the stock exchange. The Paris Commune was a revolutionary government, and the Paris air show is one of the world's most famous air shows.

I'm going to stick my neck out and say that the generic word for Carp, Elephant, Pear is so generic it's little recognised outside North America. ____ Pears yielded no results on Tesco.com groceries. (Admittedly when I just searched for Pears it only found Pears and Conference Pears). In the UK we call them Indian elephants. Well, maybe it's just us, then.

Still Indian. You can tell, just as African elephants have ears shaped like Africa, so Indian elephants have ears roughly the shape of India. I mean, Asian elephants would have ears shaped like Asia! They would be able to take flight with them, or something. And where would Cyprus go? It just makes no sense.

Same deal in Canada. In my day, all the books said there were two kinds of elephant: African and Indian. I've never heard of an Asian elephant until today.

I think that "Nile" could be an acceptable answer for the Mississipi one. There's a Nile Delta, Cleopatra's nickname was Queen of the Nile, ad the Nile mud pies do actually exist.

Another one that may accept another answer is "Polish". "British" may work for this one (although British notation is a little more ambiguous)

Some of these are barrel scraping. The Elephant one doesn't work if you're British. I've never heard of any of the clues for 5th, 6th, 14th, 15th or 17th questions. The seventh one is also very generic or obscure.

Great series of quizzes, but this one is far too obscure.

Could be me, but I ve never heard of a breed english terrier, nor a dish called english pudding. There may be terriers and pudding from england. But that is not quite iconic names

Glad it wasn't just me.

Evidently "Polish parliament" is an expression describing a chaotic or disordering meeting. It comes from an era where every member of Poland's legislature had veto power, so every new rule or law could only be passed with unanimous approval.

The interwebz has nothing special to say about Polish parliament. What the heck. What are we missing?

Possibly a reference to the historical Sejm, a notable aspect of Polish government in the early modern era.

Could Philly be an accepted type in? I think at least with cheese steaks, it's generally referred by that more than Philadelphia.

You could add 'cream tea' to the 'pasty' one, 'dales' or 'tea' to the 'pudding' one. Clotted cream after the jam, milk after the tea. Anything else is just wrong.

It's a very common spelling mistake, but it is a mistake - you don't get a Denmark pastry, France fries or a Cornwall pasty. I daresay it's because they are pronounced almost the same, especially before "bun" or "beer".

Could have been a bit clearer on what kind of answers we were supposed to give. I thought it was just countries at first since the only example is a country. Also didn't think to put -n on things like Australia.

Yes, I'm afraid I didn't even get the example - what is French about vanilla or press?? It took me a good while to work out what was going on.

French vanilla is a common ice cream flavor. A French press is a piece of equipment used for making coffee.
