Food Connoisseur Test

The Food Connoisseur Test is more than just a quiz—it’s a celebration of global cuisine and the diversity of dishes that define cultures around the world. Whether you're a seasoned traveler, an adventurous eater, or just someone who enjoys a good takeout menu, this test is designed to challenge your culinary knowledge and introduce you to iconic foods from every corner of the globe. It's not about being a professional chef or memorizing recipes; it’s about recognizing the foods that make up the world’s table and knowing what they say about the people and places they come from.

Across 25 carefully selected questions, the test offers a delicious mix of dishes ranging from the familiar to the obscure. Some you’ve probably eaten many times—like sushi or lasagna. Others, like maafe or har gow, might push the boundaries of your familiarity. That’s part of the fun. Each question gives you multiple-choice options, including a chance to admit you just don’t know—which, honestly, is part of the journey too. There’s no shame in skipping a dish you’ve never heard of. In fact, that’s how learning begins.

The format is simple and engaging: one dish per question, one correct answer, four incorrect ones, and one “I don’t know.” This structure lets you test what you truly know while also encouraging curiosity. It’s meant to feel like flipping through an international menu or walking through a global food market, where you recognize some dishes by name, others by appearance, and a few just by that “I’ve always wanted to try that” feeling.

What makes the Food Connoisseur Test unique is its blend of fun and food literacy. It doesn’t just test your trivia knowledge—it reflects your exposure to diverse cuisines, whether through travel, media, dining out, or cooking at home. Scoring well doesn’t make you a better person, but it might mean your taste buds have traveled a little farther than most. And if you don’t score high? You’ll walk away with a new list of dishes to look up, try, and enjoy.

The five scoring tiers—from Food Novice to World-Class Connoisseur—give you a snapshot of where you stand on your culinary journey. Maybe you're just getting started and recognizing a handful of famous dishes, or maybe you’re the kind of foodie who plans vacations around restaurants and night markets. Wherever you land, there’s something to gain: pride, inspiration, or just a healthy craving.

Ultimately, the Food Connoisseur Test isn’t about perfection—it’s about participation. It’s a lighthearted, interactive way to see how food connects us all and how much there still is to taste and learn. So whether you're playing solo, challenging a friend, or just passing the time before dinner, take the quiz with an open mind and an empty stomach. You never know what your next favorite dish might be.
