You'll take some flack from the British attempters of this quiz. Re words for food, vindaloo is an OK answer but madras isn't. Although the former only refers to food (from the Portuguese for wine and garlic), so too, in UK Indian restaurants, does Madras (from the place formerly known as....). Indeed these two curries are often grouped together, being regarded as similar but 'very hot' and 'extra hot'.

Fun quiz.

Quite right. Good quiz but you can certainly eat a Madras in most Indian restaurants in the UK.

What food is Pachinko? I only know it as the japanese gambling game. Doesn't come up on google as a food either

I think "brazen", meaning "like brass", can refer to a colour (even though that is no longer the primary meaning).

Agreed. As with golden, flaxen, etc. Her brazen curls glinted in the sun.

+1. Longman includes the definition "having a shiny yellow colour" and Webster says "of the color of polished brass."

I suppose you are right even though that meaning is now archaic. Removed that as a possible choice.

How is 'heather' a colour? In the Dulux paint range maybe, but then so is bubblegum, watermelon, lemonade, ballet slipper...

Like the color of heather flowers. Similar to lilac or lavender.

Yes, I agree. Practically any single-colour flower could be a colour. "I've done my bathroom in a pleasant shade of buttercup"

Hmm.

This is kinda bizarre, I haven't seen this happen before. I've taken this quiz 3 times. Each time I have selected "Paisley" as a color, and each time I'm scored it claims I didn't select it. What's going on???

It's not saying you didn't select it, it's saying it's a wrong answer.

Good quiz. That being said, having culture isn't just about booksmarts it's also about being in touch with your own ethnic culture.

A jeremiad can be a literary work, which obviously is an object.

I'm not sure it is... the book that holds it is, but that doesn't mean the thing itself is a concrete object, any more than a speech or a radio programme is.

Maybe use aglet instead of aiglet? Aglet is a much more common spelling of the word, I had no idea an aiglet was even the same thing, but everyone that's watched Phineas and Ferb knows what an aglet is

There is actually a kind of cookie called 'Roccoco' that they eat in Naples, Italy at the Christmas holidays. Obviously I didn't select it because I knew most people don't know this. But technically it should be an acceptable answer for the question about things you can eat.
