Pepper is indeed the first, and I tend to agree with you about cumin but the trivia site I found said mustard.  In any case, you're up Mibarra

You are correct!

Most expensive foods:
1. saffron (I don't know if I would have considered this a food, more like a spice, but it was on the list.)
2. beluga caviar
3. white alba truffles
4. japanese matsuke mushrooms
5. kobe beef

You are next, Highlite!

Three million a day, made in Slough UK???  Am I right Ruthie, am I right?  Or am I wrong cuz I found that number in a thing from 2007?  Have they increased production Ruth?  And one last question YRH Queen Ruth, have you considered psychiatric help for your little chocolate addiction?

Ruth tells me that your trivia answer is correct Monrein. She also tells me it is not nice to question your monarch. You must  :bow; show her the respect she deserves!

Sincerest apologies Queen Ruth.  My fondness for chocolate and my despair at no longer being able to indulge shamelessly in it, got the better of me and I lost my head.  There now, no further need to chop off my head.


Trivia question.

Name the only animal, besides humans, to be able to get leprosy.

armadillo--- have 4 babies each birth, all male or all female---- never mixed
I did a unit on the armadillo and did an armadillo salad on crackers
students ate it :P

Between July 1 and July 12, 1916, five people were attacked along the coast of New Jersey by sharks; only one of the victims survived.

My husband's grandmother told me that a "man-eating shark" scared everyone (she lived in Montclair, NJ) and that summer no one went swimming.

I read this year's ago "THE MATAWAN MAN-EATER" http://www.njhm.com/matawanmaneater.htm

more here "The Case of the New Jersey Man-Eater" http://www.elasmo-research.org/education/topics/saf_nj_maneater.htm
