These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-01-23,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of Footloose and Firkin Free, but have been reformatted
and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the
correct answers in about 3 days.
For further information, including an explanation of the """ notation
that may appear in these rounds, see my 2021-07-20 companion posting
on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".
* Game 1, Round 4 - Miscellaneous - Food and Drink Origins
1. According to the book "The History of Science and Technology",
the origin of what snack can be traced to the shape of folded
arms of children in prayer?
2. The "French Paradox" is the observation that the French suffer
a relatively low incidence of heart disease, despite having a
diet rich in saturated fats such as butter. When a description
of it aired on "60 Minutes" in 1991, the consumption of what
item increased by 44%?
3. What Chinese dipping sauce that is common in Cantonese cuisine
derives its name from a word meaning seafood, although it
contains none?
4. The term "holy trinity of cuisine" refers specifically to the
celery, bell peppers, and onions that form the heart of which
cuisine?
5. Which dish consisting of pureed or finely chopped olives,
capers, and olive oil is a popular food in the south of France,
where it is generally eaten as an hors d'oeuvre?
6. The name of which wine, called "Hermitage" in Australia till the
1980s, comes from a city in Iran where the process of winemaking
originated 7,000 years ago?
7. Which hazelnut liqueur comes in a bottle with a knotted white
cord around its waist that is meant to mimic the religious
garments of a friar?
8. The name of which spice (also known as Jamaica pepper) was coined
by people who thought that it combined the flavour of cinnamon,
nutmeg, and cloves?
9. Because it is lethally poisonous if not done right, which
Japanese dish prepared from the meat of pufferfish is the only
delicacy officially forbidden to the Emperor of Japan, for his
own safety?
10. Named for a French diplomat, what are confections made from
nuts and sugar syrup called?

* Game 1, Round 6 - Entertainment - Law & Order Actors
The handout <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/01-06/law.pdf>
shows actors and actresses in character from various shows in
the "Law & Order" franchise. We give you the performer's name
and the character's name, and the show they appeared on (CI =
Criminal Intent, LA = Los Angeles, SVU = Special Victims Unit),
and you provide us with the picture number.
*Note*: a few of the faces don't look right to me. I think the
aspect ratio of those images has been distorted. But this is what
the handout looked like at the original game.
1. Christopher Meloni as Eliot Stabler (L&O:SVU).
2. Ice-T as Fin Tutuola (L&O:SVU).
3. Kathryn Erbe as Alexandra Eames (L&O:CI).
4. Julianne Nicholson as Megan Wheeler (L&O:CI).
5. Dann Florek as Donald Cragen (L&O and L&O:SVU).
6. Alana de la Garza as Connie Rubirosa (L&O and L&O:LA).
7. Sam Waterston as Jack McCoy (L&O).
8. Jerry Orbach as Lennie Briscoe (L&O).
9. Steven Hill as Adam Schiff (L&O).
10. Vincent D'Onofrio as Robert Goren (L&O:CI).
Here are the others in rot13. Decode the list and give the picture
numbers if you like for fun, but for no points. A further bonus
question, also for no points, appears at the end of the list.
11. Cnhy Fbeivab nf Cuvy Preergn (Y&B).
