Calling all foodies for this one! If you love everything that has to do with food and drinks and want to truly test your knowledge of all things food related, then this ultimate true or false food and drinks quiz will be perfect for you.

Here you will find 150 ’facts’ about food and drinks and you have to say whether they are true or not.

Some of these statements are completely right, others couldn’t be further from the truth and that’s your job to identify which one is what.

If you want to spice it up (got the pun?), then you can also try to correct the wrong statements. For example, if it says that the pizza was born in France. You can say, no that’s false (that will score you one point) and then, it was in fact born in Italy (boom! Another point).

Not only will this make the quiz more entertaining but it will also give you more points which is quite interesting. No matter what, we will give you all the answers at the end of the quiz.

Before you get started, it’s important to note that we split this true or false quiz in two rounds. The first one is about food only and the second about drinks only.

Also, we’ve included a very wide range of topics. This means there are some cooking terms, facts about national dishes, French food, food traditions around the world, baking, produce, distilleries… literally everything!
