Most people can recognise a dish by sight. Identifying it from a one-line description, with no photo and no menu in front of you, is a slightly different test.

This quiz gives you fifteen dishes and drinks from thirteen different countries, described without being named, and asks you to pick the right answer from four options. It mixes the dishes everyone’s heard of with a few that might need a second guess. Work through them all and find out whether you finish as someone who Burnt the Toast, a solid Home Cook, a confident Head Chef, or a true Michelin Star.
