I just love doing this Quiz! I have seen that a lot of my readers think that I must be a Food Genius, but unfortunately that is not true! I have been reading recipe books and foodie magazines for years. The last couple of years I have been reading food blogs. Every time I see something interesting I write this down and it is from these notes that I have started doing the food Quiz, many moons ago. I get most of the questions from everyday reads in food magazines and blogs!
I most enjoy reading the answers to these Quizzes, some spot on with loads of information and some spot-on with loads of humor!
I would like to thank everyone for taking part in this Quiz!! You give me so much motivation to seek for more interesting questions!
