Ah! This was one of the episodes that I saw tape on October 17. And it looks like I got several seconds of (shared) screen time, mostly in profile, when I turned my head to look at the questions being revealed on the big screen to my left.

I didn't know the answer, but I had a hunch the Red Sox cap was the right answer, as something that would be "offensive" to the actor. Eating and drinking stuff can always be faked, for the camera.

A question for a celtic music fan! The bag provides ongoing air pressure for the drones to sound with, when the piper stops blowing on the mouthpiece (or pumping the bellows with his elbow, in the case of the uilleann pipes).

A WWOQ, indeed.

Is this really a (widespread) indigenous food? According to this Reuters article, it's only been made by one family in one village in Indonesia. Not exactly something that's going to come to anyone's attention, in the USA.

Doesn't sound Kiwi or Spanish. From the comfort of my recliner I guessed correctly; had I been at the Hot Podium I might well have used a JTQ.
