Closed: FOOD JEOPARDY!

[A Chef Named Sous]

After noticing that there are no food-trivia games, I decided to start one, modeled after my favorite game show.

The rules are simple. It's just like the show. I will start off by posting an answer; the next person will post a question AND an answer. For example:
___________________________________________
1st post:
This cheese often comes pre-grated in green cans.
___________________________________________
2nd post:
What is parmesan?

This coffee-laden Italian dessert translates to "pick me up".
___________________________________________
...and so on.

Get it?

Good.

Have fun! I'll start things off...
