The foodie quiz is a fun little way to waste a couple minutes of the morning and maybe have a little laugh or two while you're at it because it is certainly not a serious quiz in any way. If it were serious, it is highly unlikely that one of the answers, right or wrong, would suggest that the correct solution to a minor restaurant dilemma is to "grab the waiter by his neck, shove him in a tiny crate, which you load into the hold of a plane bound for Auckland, while shouting: 'How would you like it, you animal abusing spawn of the devil?'"
The quiz is intended to test your knowledge of general foodie issues, kitchen trends and food movements. I scored 42 out of a possible 45 (the higher the score, the better), which apparently makes me a "gastro-warrior." Take the quiz and get back to us here in the comments to let us know how you fared!

I too scored 42.
You, friend, are a gastro-warrior, a culinary thrill -seeker with a palate that knows no barriers, no shame – and no frozen potato waffles and mass produced condiments.

I scored a 35 but to be honest, I'm not sure what half of those questions were asking me.

I scored a 40 - still enough to be a gastro-warrior. And all I know about food, I learned here.

i got a 44! i was trying to be honest, and i had no idea i'd score that high. i absolutely was not going to claim to have procures last night's dinner from a biodynamic farm. i guess that was the one point i missed!

42 but their salads were minging and you all too frequently can't get skimmed organic milk.

Dave - I, too, went wrong because I felt their salads were minging. I think that there should have been two 3-point answers for that question.

34 -- Gastro-warrior
The truth is I was compelled to answer honestly --unless violence was an option.
But then, for the first year of its life my blog's tag line was, "Food that hurts." And the current tag is, "Do not be afraid of cooking, as your ingredients will know and misbehave."

43, which is ironic, given how well I know the menus of various takeaway joints within 5 miles of my home. Apparently, I'm good with theory.
