Bertolli Giveaway Day 4: Italian Food

I will not be posting the answers to yesterdays questions today. Two people playing were detained in other matters and could not answer, so I am allowing them to submit their answers to me later. And for that reason I will not post the answers. But I believe the ones who did answer, I sent you a private message to let you know how many you got and what the correct answers were. But heres how the scores shape up

Tied for first: Veronica and Bobbie                                   9pts

It looks like I stumped you pretty good yesterday. Sometimes it is hard for me to realize that not everyone loves food like I love food. And even if they do love food, they do not follow it as enthusiatically as I do. Ah the price you pay when you have a passion!


So what would a Bertolli giveaway be without questions on Italian food? And I LOVE Italian food. Pasta, sauces, tiramisu, braised meat in red wine, braciole, its all delicious!! And I think I have an aptitude for it too. So why not do questions on something Im pretty good at?

1. Who is considered to be the Queen of Italian cuisine in America (it is not the obvious answer)?

2. Meatballs seem to be a staple in the Italian genre of food. But where did they originate?

3. When using tomatoes in sauces what is the best kind to use?

4. Name 3 common dried beans in Italian cooking.

5. What is the name of the popular Italian festival in America, most notably NYC?


So good luck to all and I hope that you are enjoying this as much as I am!
