That wouldn't work, because there's no such language as Afghan. Afghanistan's official languages are Pashto and Dari (though the former is sometimes called, by those who have no idea, Afghani).
The set “elements” contains non-metals as well as metals. The four examples given include zero non-metals. Therefore this set is too general, and the set “metals” is more accurate.
Great quiz, really enjoyed it! I also learned a new kitchen word, which is always appreciated. I only knew the bone cleaning meaning of "cutting veggies into thin strips". :)
I agree. Julienne or shred. Never ever have I heard it referred to as French (and I lived in USA for a long while too,so not a West Coast USAism.). Really got stuck on that one.
I wonder what the Belgians think, given they are the European champions of this potato staple. Are friten / frites jullienned or French cut or ? In Belgium.
The French do julienne lots of things; for some reason the image I had on reading the comments was of slicing leeks, spring onions and carrots.
Oh thank you lovely lovely people for you lovely lovely compliments, they make my day xxx. As for your suggestions and edits, I don't know if I can make edits myself, I don't wanna get into trouble but I'm too shy to ask @-@
Not to complain, but the Russian and Ukrainian version of the dish usually is not done with garlic. I would suggest a stuffed breaded chicken dish and leave out the garlic.
This is a great quiz, but it threw me off that you have to type in the plural form of "colour" and "nationality" when in most other categories it accepts the singular form. Would be great if you could change that :-)
1) Kiev was hard to get at first because the main thing about the dish isn't that it has garlic in it (though it may) but rather is bursting with BUTTER. I eventually got the right answer by figuring out the category, but butter would help the clue.
2) The clue for Pawn really got me stuck thinking it was Collateral. Maybe use it in its verb form instead? Something like: "to temporarily sell one's possession(s) when in need of cash".
3) The Dollar clue=kind of misleading. Would be more accurate if it said "Fossilized sea urchin imprint left in the sand" or something to that effect.
4) Mark Hamill has 2 L's in his last name, not just one.
5) Had literally never heard of calling it French to cut vegetables into thin strips. To me, that's julienne. Upon some research, it would appear French cut is synonymous with julienne, but it has the word 'cut' after it. Maybe replace with 'to kiss with tongue'. That's an easier clue for French. ;)
Lemon was originally a slang term, but I believe now it is very much a normal and legal term used to refer to defective cars, so might be worth a change.
Nice quiz, great idea and I enjoyed it. Agree with previous comments though that I've never heard french for cutting vegetables, only julienne. I'm vegetarian and have chopped a lot of veggies in my time, but, hand on heart, I have never frenched one!
Loved this one. A few baffled me for a little bit (French/julienne - I'm looking at you), but the Kiev one almost did me in. I wouldn't describe Kiev as breaded garlic chicken. But, nonetheless, I got it. Thanks for a great quiz.
Been said above, but French is not a verb, Pawn IS a verb - not the object being “pawned” unless referring to something sacrificial. I obviously know french fries, but this is an adjective which describes the result of julienning potatoes. What does it mean to “freedom” potatoes?
And lemon is rarely used outside the states to describe a dud car. I only knew it from Jetpunk quizzes.
I wonder where it is called french.
"French Fries"
The word "French" refers not to their country of origin, but rather that the potato has been "frenched" (or french-cut).

Now I'm hungry.
It's quite common though here
