1. Chapathi is a dish from
a. India
b. China
c. Cambodia
d. South Africa
Notes: Chapati or chapatti is a type of roti or *** bread.
It is made from a dough of atta flour, (from whole durum wheat), water and salt by rolling it out into discs of approximately 12 cm diameter and browning it on both sides on a very hot, dry cast-iron griddle or frying pan. It is then held very briefly (ca. 0.5 s) directly into an open flame, causing it to puff up with steam like a balloon.

2. Pavlova is a dish from
a. Australia
b. Austria
c. Great Britian
d. Denmark
Notes: Pavlova is a light and fluffy meringue dessert named after the ballet dancer, Anna Pavlova. Pavlova is made by beating egg-whites and salt to a very stiff consistency before folding in castor sugar, vanilla, and vinegar, and then slow-baking the mixture to dry all the moisture and create the meringue. This leaves the outside of the pavlova a crisp crunchy shell, while the interior remains soft and moist.

3. Pho (Beef noodle) is a dish from
a. Thailand
b. Laos
c. Vietnam
d. Malaysia
Notes: Pho (pronounced "fuh" in English) is a traditional **** noodle dish.

In many restaurants, the last four items are usually provided on a separate plate, which allows customers to add as many or as few condiments to the broth soup as they desire. Some hot sauces can be applied to pho noodles as well.

4. Okonomiyaki is a dish from
a. The Philippines
b. Holland
c. Korea
d. Japan

d. Argentina
Notes: Cachaça is the most popular distilled alcoholic beverage in ****, made from sugarcane juice. Unlike tequila, cachaça, also a strong liquor, is better tasted slowly. Some cachaça tasters usually let the drink linger inside their mouths in order to feel the retro-taste, an important feature of the well-made cachaças. An Alternative way to drink cachaça is to put it inside a short and slim glass called martelinho ("little hammer"), and drink in one single shot. Often some lime juice is added to the cachaça. Bits of brown sugar cake (rapadura) are sometimes eaten between glasses.

Traditionally, men dig and prepare the hole, and women prepare the food to go in it. All members of an extended family (whanau) help out for such a feast.
