Learned a lot with this one! Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done everyone.

Bagna cauda - 100% guess from the words and then the description, which reminded me of Puttanesca, also Italian, and with anchovies 🙃

Well done all, another good quiz @Mi-Amigo 👍

[Spenny]

A few of us quizzers went for Aubergine on Q8.  Was it same reason as me, the Purple Dragon reference ?

[jonsie]

Well done everyone

Some headscratchers in there @Mi-Amigo

Absolutely savage WRQ for me, I really struggled with that one, although I just ran the questions past my partner and they got more than me! haha.

Well done everyone and thanks Mi-Amigo for doing these WRQ's.

Sorry you found the quiz "absolutely savage" @Comben 

Hope the questions in Wed`s WRQ are a little easier for you.
