"If you are stuck at home and bored like me. How about exercising the old grey cells? I have for a number of years run quiz nights and couple of times a year. I was due to do one tomorrow which is now cancelled So I have a bank of questions sitting in my computer's hard drive. They are quite eclectic in their nature. I am thinking I could put up a set of questions for which you write down your answers. After 30mins or so I will put up the answers. DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS. before I post the right answers. You mark your own answers and post your score. I will then record the scores and at the end of the ""lockdown"" we will see who is WHO's brainbox supreme. Obiviously no looking up the answers (you only cheat yourselves) Word of warning these won't be easy questions as they have been devised for teams of six. Forming teams on here might be too problematic. So I'll try to pick out the easier questions. Any interest?"

In fact just looked it up and they were formed in 1857.

"5 confirmed Zeb I did a whole dissertation on American (in the broad sense) foods and their words in early modern England - pineapple, chocolate, etc. The answer east gave is one theory. There were things called Turkey-cocks pre turkeys - guinea fowls - and then like a few other things the new thing were given familiar but erroneous names. See also ""Indian"" ."
