(Question and answers provided by Quiz Daily)

ENJOY THE GAME! 

Answer to last week's quiz: TAD

A tad is the largest of the measuring amounts listed. 

In actuality, " tad = 1/8 teaspoon. dash = 1/16 teaspoon. pinch = 1/24 teaspoon. smidgen = 1/32 teaspoon."

Also, " Many cooks would tell you that it won’t matter whether you use a tad, dash, pinch, or smidgen. All you’ll do is add a bit of flavor, regardless of the exact amount. When so little of an ingredient is needed, the exact amount is irrelevant.'

" When it comes to larger measurements of key ingredients, careful measurement can make a much bigger difference. Pay attention to how many tablespoons and cups of sugar, flour, and cornmeal a recipe calls for! But don’t sweat the small stuff. A tad, dash, or smidgen isn’t going to hurt anything."

So, thankfully, that must be why these amounts are not even mentioned in current day recipes. 

(The above information comes from various online sources as I actually lost the original Trivia game 😲)

I have actually seen (on TV) all but #4 and they weren't that big of a deal, so I am going to guess #4, Blue Whale (which, for some reason, I haven't seen 😎)

As far the answers to the questions contained in your blog,  a gob must be more than a smidgeon, since that is the smallest measurement it lists.  AND - you LOST last week's game?  amIright?

Thanks @YoungAtHeart for being a "regular" at playing Trivia 😊 My answers to the two additional "challenges"  🤔 will also be included in next week's post ...

@SuzyQ411 I'm going to guess #2) giraffes.  Read on the link that gob came from the word gobbler and originally meant a gob of meat...so I guess you got a "cup" full. Good post. Gob is way more than a smidgen.😀

[Snowdoggie]

Well, that was supposed to read "goblet" but spell check changed it to "gobbler".

[SuzyQ411]

@Snowdoggie  Darned that spell check, eh? Thanks for playing Trivia this week!!   Appreciated your comments on "gob", as well  🙂

I missed last week's game ( I feel like I missed all of last week!) 

I am going to guess giraffe because I "feel" like I remember it from the zoo........BUT, it might be wrong because the zoo trip I remember it from was my son's class trip in first grade. He turns 40 in June so my memory MAY be a bit foggy.

Thanks for the game @SuzyQ411

@Sootie "Welcome back" to Trivia. Thanks for playing . 😊 My kids' classes always went to the zoo in kindergarten and I was a helper-Mom for all three trips, the first of these being almost 55 years ago.

It's true that in just a blink of the eye, the years fly by. And, my memory is definitely a bit foggy, lol 😊

I’m going to guess elephant.  I am

not sure if there is a trick in asking “what species” and not listing any specific species among the answers. Maybe I’ve played too many word games with my grand nephews.

@Braided  Welcome to Trivia. Thanks for playing 😊 BTW, your comment on "species" was very thought-provoking: good point!
