1. Ice cream and frozen custard are egg-containing (and the latter is just a marketing phrase), and gelato is non-egg??
2. A petit four is a little cake. I know petit means little in french, at least.
3. Marzipan = almonds
4. This sounds like a Thai dessert to me. I know there is something called rubies in coconut milk or something from that part of the world.
5. I have no clue what frog cake is… is it green?
6. Spotted dick.
7. Bisteeya is a curious and delicious sweet/savory chicken pie. North African. Don’t know what the others are.
8. My guess is that it is about 100 years old.
9. Central and South America

almond paste
4.  Where would you find Rainbow Balls in Coconut Cream?
In my mouth.

The opposite of number four.
6.  Which one would you most likely have for dessert:  Spotted Dick, Bubble and Squeak, or Inky Pinky?
Spotted Dick … and it is delish!
7.  What are Bisteeya, Pyrih, Vlaai, and Zelnik?
Pie!

Um … really, really old.
9.  Where are most cacao (chocolate) beans grown?
South America?

1) The difference is gelato and frozen custard have more of the good stuff (AKA fat maiking calorie overload stuffs) and taste better
2) Tiny little cakes used for tea parties at least that’s what I used them for when I was little

5)Dunno but maybe it will explain why we had a frog shaped cake pan in my house growing up which nobody could explain its reason for existing
6) Spotted dick? I think it’s a pudding of some sort if my memory of Bridget Jones is correct.

9) On Earth,more specifically in the Southern Hemisphere

I prefer to think it is made of deception and disappointment. I grew up in a neighborhood with a number of wonderful Italian bakeries, and they all had gorgeous marzipan fruit displays. Growing up I thought they must be the pinnacle of sweet wonderfulness. They are pretty, but they do not taste good at all. Not at all.
