It's A Quiz, Innit? 🇬🇧[]
Chip Butty
For this episode, Libby brings The Doughboys a quiz about British food (she's British).
There are three sections with three or four questions each: true/false, "what's in this, then?", and a real/fake section.
Every question is worth one point.
The loser is sent to Yuckingham Palace and has to live there for 1000 years to be punished by Sticky Gervais.
| True/False | Wiger's guess | Mitch's guess | answer | point |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas Pudding is made of dried fruit, treacle, and beef fat. | true | false | true | Wiger |
| Hot Cross Buns were invented by Henry VIII. | false | true | false | Wiger |
| In Britain, eating swans is considered treason because they all belong to the Queen. | true | true | false (true until 1998) | - |
| What's In This Then? | Wiger's guess | Mitch's guess | answer | point |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spotted Dick | dessert | dessert | dessert (pudding) | both |
| Chipolata | pastry | meat | sausage | Mitch |
| Chip Butty | sandwich | home fries | sandwich | Wiger |
| Real or Fake? | Wiger's guess | Mitch's guess | answer | point |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eggy Bread | fake | real | real | Mitch |
| Lardy Cake | fake | real | real | Mitch |
| Bishop Biscuits | fake | real | fake | Wiger |
| Bread Sauce | fake | real | real | Mitch |
Since, at this point, Nick and Mitch were tied 4-4, Libby offered a bonus tiebreaker: to describe Toad in the Hole.
Both Nick and Mitch seemed to say the same thing ("egg inside a piece of toast"), but Libby explains that it is actually a sausage cooked in Yorkshire Pudding batter.
Thus, both Doughboys lose and are sent to Yuckingham Palace.
