Food is important and I’d argue that drinks are just as important. Depending on where you grew up, food is a central part of the culture and the way people live their lives.
Flavors are distinct based on where you live and where you grew up. Oftentimes, we have little practical knowledge about the foods in other parts of the world. At least, the real foods. Chinese, French, Brazilian, etc. food in your country has been adjusted to appeal to the local palette.
That’s why food trivia and drink trivia are so important. It helps us understand how varied our world really is. Let’s dive in. You can find more general trivia questions here.
