These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2023-11-06,
and should be interpreted accordingly.

On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.

All questions were written by members of the Usual Suspects and
are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. The posting and tabulation of
current-events questions is independent of the concurrent posting
of other rounds. For further information please see my 2023-05-24
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".

I wrote one of these rounds.

* Game 7, Round 4 - Entertainment - Well-Known Movie, Tough Image

Please see the handout at: http://www.vex.net/~msb/tmp/g7r4/movi.pdf

With apologies to sporcle.com, which this round is mostly stolen
from, each of the numbered images is from a well-known movie.
In each case we'll give you the picture letter and the credited
director. You must name the movie.

As usual here, I've rearranged the round in order of the handout.
There were 6 decoys, which are now interspersed with the others:
answer them if you like for fun, but for no points.

1. Picture A, director Victor Fleming.
2. Picture B, directors Gary Trousdale [rhymes with "cow's dale"]
and Kirk Wise.
3. Picture C, director Ridley Scott.
4. Picture D, director Stanley Kubrick.
5. Picture E (decoy), director Francis Lawrence.
6. Picture F, director Roland Emmerich.
7. Picture G (decoy), director Martin Campbell.
8. Picture H (decoy), director Peter Weir.
9. Picture I (decoy), director Robert Zemeckis.
10. Picture J, director James Cameron.
11. Picture K (decoy), director Jonathan Demme.
12. Picture L (decoy), director Ang Lee.
13. Picture M, director Tim Burton.
14. Picture N, director Peter Jackson.
15. Picture O, directors Joel and Ethan Coen.
16. Picture P, director Alfred Hitchcock.

* Game 7, Round 6 - Literature - Food Writing

1. What is the title of Frances Moore Lappé's 1971 cookbook
written from an environmentalist point of view and emphasizing
vegetarianism?

2. Who was the Victorian journalist and housewife whose name became
a soubriquet for cooking competence, despite her death at age 28
-- largely on the strength of her "Book of Household Management",
published in 1861? It's apparently still in print, at least
in abridged form.

3. What was the title of Julia Child's first book, co-written with
Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle ["bear-TOLL"], the first
volume of which was published in 1961?

4. Name the American journalist who wrote "The Omnivore's Dilemma"
and is known for the mantra "Eat food -- not too much --
mostly plants." More recently he wrote about his experiences
with therapeutic psychedelics.

5. Perhaps the most popular American cookbook, for its emphasis on
making cooking accessible to middle-class women, was written by
Irma Rombauer and first published in 1936. It has had 8 more
editions since then, the latest one updated by her grandson.
Name it.

6. Mark Kurlanksy has written many books on topics as diverse as
the history of paper and a biography of baseball player Hank
Greenberg. One of Kurlanksy's food-related books is subtitled
"A Biography of the Fish that Changed the World". The fish
in question was a major commercial species in this country up
until the early 1990s. Name the fish.

7. Jean Paré ["Gene Pairy"] was an Alberta caterer who in her
mid-50s published the first in a series of cookbooks that grew to
contain around 200 volumes with tens of millions of copies sold.
Name the series.

8. Name the 2000 tell-all book by Anthony Bourdain ["bore-DANE"]
about the reality of working in high-end restaurants.

9. Speaking of restaurant reality, George Orwell was not primarily
known as a food writer (though he did have some very specific
ideas on the proper preparation of tea); but he annoyed some
French restaurateurs with his accounts of what he observed behind
the scenes when he worked as a "plongeur", or dishwasher --
in what book?

10. This food writer and broadcaster is the daughter of a baron
who was a government minister under Margaret Thatcher (though
she herself has admitted to voting Labour at least once).
She claims not to be a chef, and her appeal seems to derive
from her evident pleasure in the act of cooking and her own
personal charisma -- to say nothing of good looks. Name her.
