to questions being phoned in randomly by readers of this blog not – they insist – cheating in a pub quiz hundreds of miles away. Can you guess the questions?
1. Valencia.
2. The dish was 21m in diameter, and its contents fed 110,000.
3. Sir Winston Churchill (clue: something about pigs).
4. Charles De Gaulle (clue: something about cheese).
5. The Greeks (or maybe the Romans) first farmed them.
Naturally, as I await their next call, I’ll fret about the ethics of this. And how easy it is to set up a premium rate phone line for this kind of thing.

Jack thought this on Nov 29 07 at 8:10 pmIs 4. the quote about governing France being a daft idea because they have so many different cheeses? I’m paraphrasing. Obviously.
Neil McIntosh thought this on Nov 29 07 at 8:25 pmJack – correct! “How can you be expected to govern a country that has 246 kinds of cheese?”
Graham thought this on Nov 30 07 at 6:32 amOK no. 1 can’t be another paella qu surely? If it is, Where does paella come from? I believe Valencia is the “famous” “original” one.
