I got about half of the food quiz questions right by sheer luck.

I won't attempt the wine quiz.

I figured it would only be fair if I took the advanced quizzes...

9 out of 10 on the wine (I guessed on a couple of questions; understanding of the language and garnering clues from it was the only thing that saved me there...)

8 out of 10 on the food (Stupid Le Virtú...)

i thought i knew italian food, but holy crap, i failed the basic! 4 out of 10!

Some of it was really, really obscure.

i know what speck is, i know what mortadella is, i know what parmigiano-reggiano is but damned if i know where it's made!

I got 5/10 on the advanced wine quiz by guessing. Had no clue on any of them. I guess I should have played the lottery today instead.

Beginner quiz:

I got 6/10 on the food.

I got 5/10 on wines. I guessed on all of them since I know zero about wine.

What does DOC stand for, anyway?

Only took the food, my wife is giving me the evil eye..

8/10 basic
6/10 intermediate
4/10 advanced

Yeah, some of these are obscure. Some were a little too literal vs traditional. I also don't know my regions that well. <grumble>
