5. What is the difference between Oregano and Marjoram? I think they are cousins, but I know they do taste different

6. What is the Amla herb and how is it used? Hashim Amla is a cricketer and it is rude to talk of cricketers as if they are just plants.

7. What do you use to make Wasabi? I give it to anyone stupid enough to want it.

8. What is the difference between a compote and a coulis? A compote is chunkier and only has fruit in it, a coulis is somewhat smoother with fruit and / or veggies

9. What is Alfajores and where did it originate from? Its biscuits made with alfafa, connected with peanut butter and with some drupaceous fruit on the outside. Where it comes from, nobody knows, maybe the elves make it?
