How Much Do You Actually Know About Cooking?

[♪♫choppinbroccoli♫♪]

Buzzfeed quiz

I thought this was a fun quiz. I got 13/21, "Sous Chef". For being one that doesn't cook much, I am pretty proud of my result. Haha!

How did you do?

[requiressnacks]

12/21...I thought I'd do better because I cook a lot! But I'm not often cooking with those ingredients.

[doodler]

I also got 13/21. I cook frequently and consider myself a decent cook but I hadn't heard of some of that stuff!

[pinkcat]

15 out of 21. I admit I guessed on quite a few! I mean... taramasalata?! Fish roe sounds like something I do not want. No thank you!

[ohinvrtedworld]

18/21, master chef!

I guessed on a few of these, but I think I know a reasonable amount of stuff about food

[goldenlove3]

I only got 10/21. I don't cook much and don't know those fancy terms. H would probably get a high score.

[LadyNymeria]

16 out of 21?!?! How the hell did I manage that?? I don't cook at all.

Masterchef:
You obviously know your food really well and are probably very handy in the kitchen. Gordon Ramsay would be proud.

[joy]

So... the ones I got right were due solely to guessing.

I'm a terrible cook. I'm aware.

[TheEleventhHour]

I got 13/21 ... I thought I'd do better because I love to cook! But some of the questions were definitely about foods/techniques I'd never cook/use.

[titania]

I got 12/21... considering I'm a vegetarian and there were a bunch of meat questions, I think that is pretty good!

[ironbaby]

11/21. I am amazed I got that many. I was CLUELESS.

20/21 be jealous y'all

Which one did you miss? #curious #alsojealous

[goldenlove3]

H only got 10 and complained that the test was stupid and only professional chefs could answer some of the questions. What a sore loser.

::preens self::

But really. I went to culinary school, so I'm not speshul.

[Rama]

14 here. I'm also a sous chef.

[ellabee]

17/21. I consider myself a decent cook...though I admit I got a few answers just from years of watching top chef. Knowing and being able to do are completely different things, unfortunately.

MASTER CHEF BITCHES!

[butlerfan]

I should do well...my husband is a chef at a daycare and he loves to cook. I know random cooking stuff that most people do.

I will happily make you all the food though!! Mmmmwah!

[Andrea]

I missed the taramasalata one. Boo!

[butlerfan]

Yeah....20/21 master chef. I did have to guess on a couple and guessed right.

Oh man, I love roe. But I've never had that dish. I completely guessed.

[pismoduo]

This test is dumb. I'm 99% certain that a "Spanish omelette" is not a "tortilla".

I got 17 out of 21. It would have been 18, except for that question about Spanish omelettes.

It is the Spanish version of the Omelette. It has potatoes and it is delightful.

[ceejay]

I got 15/21, which is shocking because I don't really cook.

I guess all of those years of watching Chopped and MasterChef finally paid off.

[wirt2cute]

You got 7 out of 21 right!
Kitchen nightmare


Boo to this test, ask me about all the soul food, that I can cook.

[ceejay]

Also, I initially read "How should you melt chocolate?" as "How should you EAT chocolate?" and I was confused because there is no wrong answer to that question.
