Food and cuisine quizzes

Food tells the story of a place: its climate, its history, its trade routes and its celebrations. These quizzes go beyond 'which country is pizza from?' to explore how famous dishes are really made, where surprising ingredients came from and why certain foods matter so much to the people who cook them.

You'll find quizzes on eight of the world's best-loved cuisines — Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Mexican, Korean, Turkish and Thai — as well as two ingredients that shaped global habits, coffee and chocolate. Each quiz has six questions that start easy and get harder, with an explanation for every answer.

Below every quiz, a longer background section and a few extra facts help you learn more about the dishes, techniques and traditions behind each cuisine.
