Think you can tell a Yodel from a Ho Ho from a Swiss Roll by sight alone? If so, you're a savvier snacker than we are. Take the quiz, then come back to brag (or sulk) in the comments.

Snack Cake Photo ID Quiz

Dan over at The Food in My Beard has created a hilariously goofy TV Chef Kitchen Quiz, which you cooking show fans should check out stat. He's basically taken stills from the shows and erased the person from the scene, leaving behind a blurry white blank that looks like a Yeti's taken over at the frying pan for Rachel Ray. The game is to guess what show it is by looking at the kitchen. How well do you know Paula Dean's cabinets, Giada de Laurentiis's tile backsplash? Basically, just how much time do you spend in front of the Food Network every night? If you guess them all right, we may have to stage some sort of cooking show intervention, or get you a puppy.

So..what are you doing today to honor the Earth?

Are you baking Earth Day-themed cookies? Making an organic fruit salad? Walking to the grocery store (with your reusable bag, of course)? Finally starting your own compost pile?

Check out this What Shade of Green are You? quiz on sister site Green Daily, and then read more of their green food coverage.

Tell us, we want to know: what are you doing today (or what do you do everyday) in celebration of the earth?

Fresh Herb ID Quiz

And meet our friend the Wild Edibles Forager.

Between beef recalls and threats of mad cow disease, the simple action of eating is quickly becoming less of a pleasurable activity and more of a chore, or, in some cases, a big wager.

Think you know your salmonella from your E.Coli? Feeling bored? Test your smarts with National Geographic's food safety quiz. Yes, I know, online quizzes are pretty nerdy, but this one actually provides you with decent information. After you answer each question, the site gives you a brief synopsis of the topic, so you can bulk up on your food safety knowledge for your next dinner party.

Or, even better: when the weather gets warmer and you attend a picnic, turn to your friend as she takes her first bite of chicken salad and bust out with, "Did you know that food borne illnesses are more common in warmer weather?" and watch her spit out her food and glare at you. If nothing else, your new found knowledge will provide you with hours of entertainment.

And when you're finished with that quiz, you can get to know your inner organic foodie. Because, seriously, we know you have nothing better to do.

You try to buy organic food because everything you read and hear on the news says it's better for you. But do you actually know much about what you are buying? What do the labels and messages mean? If have to chose between buying an organic peach or an organic banana, which is a better use of your food dollars? National Geographic has put together a fun quiz as part of their Green Guide that tests your organic food knowledge.

The Partnership for a Drug Free America is famous for using a fried egg analogy in their public service announcements in the 80s and 90s. Those eggs didn't fare too well in the ads, but eggs are actually quite good for you. Test your egg knowledge in this quick and easy true/false quiz from the Detroit Free Press:

1. One egg supplies 10% of the protein you need in one day.
2. Eggs are a good source of vitamins A and D.
3. When a recipe calls for eggs, you should use extra large.
4. If you are trying to cut down on cholesterol, in most recipes you can substitute the whites of two eggs for one whole egg.
5. Grading, such as AA, A and B, indicates quality rather than size.
6. Eggs as old as five weeks that have been stored in the refrigerator are safe to use.
7. Free-range eggs are more nutritious than other eggs.
8. Fertilized eggs have a longer shelf life than unfertilized eggs.

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!

This quiz is from TIME magazine and it's a short one: only 6 questions. It's about eating smart and it actually covers a few interesting topics, with a bit of information to support each of the answers. Questions cover allergies, health and nutrition. Unlike some other quizzes, it doesn't intend to trick the person answering the questions!

The best part about quizzes is that we can all participate. I got 5 out of 6 when I took it, so take 2 minutes to click through the questions and post your scores in the comments section.

And has anyone tried Zsweet, which is mentioned in the last question? I've never seen it in stores, but according to their website, it's available at a handful of stores around the country.

July is National Hot Dog month and summer is certainly an appropriate choice, as Americans eat 7 billion hot dogs during the summer (from Memorial Day to Labor Day), cooking up two thirds of them in the backyard or at home, and a total of 20 billion every year. On the 4th of July alone, 150 million hot dogs will be eaten in the US and most will be grilled, since 60% of Americans say that they prefer to eat them that way.

Want to test your hot dog trivia knowledge? Take the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council's online quiz and see if you have the goods on one of America's favorite foods. I have to admit that I only got 7 out of 10. What are you waiting for? Test the test and let us know how you scored in the comments!

There are a few game shows, like The Price is Right, that ask you to guess the price range of a product for a chance to win it. The principle for this game is exactly the same, and though there is no big prize to win, it's still fun anyway. The game is called "Guess the Calories" and unlike the Price is Right, you'll walk away with more than just the knowledge of what a Dyson vacuum costs.  Simply drag the shaded bar over a range of calorie values, trying to guess the number of calories of popular fast foods. I did well when it came to side dishes, but several of the main courses and desserts threw me off. Some of the answers may surprise you. Take the quiz and see how you do - then come back and post your score in the comments!

Though it may sound like the sort of thing you would expect to find in a chain e-mail, researcher Alan Hirsch has spent 20 years and studied over 18,000 people in order to discover what people's favorite foods say about them. Like tortilla chips the best? You might tend towards perfectionism. Is vanilla your favorite flavor? You might have a surprisingly spicy personality. All of Hirsch's participants came from the midwestern US, but he is sure that his findings can be applied elsewhere, with small regional variations.

Want to get a taste of personality? The Seattle Post Intelligencer has an excerpt from Hirch's book, What's Your Food Sign? How To Use Food Clues To Find Lasting Love. To learn about your compatibility through flavor, imagine that you and your date are at the ice-cream parlor. Which of these flavors would you pick?

• Vanilla
• Double chocolate chunk
• Strawberries and cream
• Banana cream pie
• Chocolate chip
• Butter pecan
• Strawberry
• Coffee
• Mint chocolate chip
• Rocky road

Ready? Read on to find out your results, including what your choice says about you and whether you're more compatible with coffee or chocolate chip.

Cargill, Inc., the US's second largest meat processor, has done some research on consumer knowledge of beef. As it turns out, people don't know a lot about it. To remedy the problem, as well as hoping to boost sales, the company has launched a program to educate meat buyers on meat, including the differences between things like chuck roast and tri-tip and how to cook them properly. The target age group is people between 25 and 45 who may not have grown up in a family that cooked a lot in the home, so they have limited experience with meats.

BeefQuiz.com is a site launched by the company to help consumers learn about meat. As an incentive, people who do well will get a coupon for up to $1.50 off Sterling Silver beef, a Cargill brand. There is also a beef buying guide on their website, though you can check out our list of the leanest beef cuts if that is more your style. Consumer-friendly labeling is another one of their strategies, adding cooking tips and recipes right onto the packaging.

From a consumer standpoint, the campaign will help people to eat better. If you have no idea what a skirt steak is but know that you can make hamburgers from ground beef, you might never get around to trying the skirt steak. Knowledge gives consumers more options and, in this case, might help eliminate a beef with beef.
