Food Chain: The Quiz 2017

Do you think you know about food? Think again.

Have you ever wondered what to do with a watermelon outside the kitchen? Or how many hot dogs a person can eat in 10 minutes?

It's time to find out with The Food Chain Quiz 2017. Get ready for some strange but wonderful food stories and play along with our two teams: chef Cyrus Todiwala and La Fromagerie founder Patricia Michelson versus food historian Marc Meltonville and Ghanaian food writer and TV cook Fafa Gilbert.

Emily Thomas hosts this challenging and at times bizarre battle for the coveted wooden spoon.

Rounds include: What Happens Next? What’s this Sound? And back by popular demand …. The Lucky Dip.
