Back up north for this one, but not for the temples or the hiking: we're going for the food! How much do you know? Enjoy folks. 

And now for the answers...

Only just though a miserly 3, but still deserves a......

2/5.

I knew two, but living in Isaan consulted the wife on the other 3.
For me, it was a toss up of two possible answers from the remaining 3 questions.
The wife stated my guesses were wrong, so I went with hers.

She got all 3 wrong, 2 of mine would have been correct.
Her excuse was she didn't understand the questions, which is the Thai way of keeping face, when they actually didn't know!   

[Marc26]

3 out of 5 and my wife isn't from the North, so I think that's a decent score

[DwizzleyMatthews]

A pitiful 1/5 but call me old fashioned ….. I didn’t consult with the wife

[MrStretch]

A lowly 2, but since I live just about as far south in Thailand as you can be without entering Malaysia, I don't feel too bad about this one.

Not posting my score.

[KaptainRob]

4, and I dispute Q2.

[HolyCowCm]

3/5 as I had to go with what I know contrary to two North answers using best judgment. I really think the curry one is not true or correct and then the other should be stated as North East Thailand if the answer is going to be what it is.

Yes agree. I think 2 and 5 not true.

[Bluesofa]

Well I'll eat my hat, I only managed to scored 2.

Thanks BigHewer for your tireless efforts to keep us all entertained. Very much appreciated.

Thank you and my apologies, I do appreciate the disputes and feedback. We're at the stage now where most of the quizzes being played are the older ones previously posted. The four days each quiz is "live" are a good chance to iron out any problems if there are any.

Q2 - I'm sticking to my guns here, but I have changed one of the incorrect answers. The answer remains the same. No doubt whatsoever now.

Q5 - Good point, especially considering a couple of popular dishes. I have subbed out the correct answer for another and kept the three incorrect answers the same. Also changed one word in the question. Should be no issues now.

Thanks again,

BH

You see? 

This is how it happens that Marble Eye beats us. Its a travesty. Its an injustice. Its abhorrent to the laws of nature.

I shall be contacting my lawyers in the morning.

Expect a letter from Soo, Kriple and Sneer. And you better bloody read it because those guys dont mess around.

[Bertik]

3. A mere 60%.

[Chaimai]

4.......but the last question did not offer me the option of the correct answer ie  it was missing from the list

I have just read BH's post.....

I don't know how I scored this  Score: 4

 I always thought that northern meat dishes would be spicier because of the poor quality meat used or rotten fish, and the spice was needed to cover up. Looks like I am wrong.  The weirdest thing about people I know from Udon and Ubon, particularly males is that they love oysters. My friends can slurp them down and I am going, whoa don't,  it's hot and you don't know if they have gone bad. The way they eat mussels too is crazy.
