How well do you think you know the Davis food scene? All of the answers to this quiz are places where you can eat a meal in Davis. But the clues are all cryptic! An example might help...if the question was ‘Where an amphibian might relax, perhaps?’ then the answer would be ‘Froggy’s’ (frog - ease). Answers follow below

1) Fruit insect

2) Maybe Dustin Hoffman would eat here?

3) No longer approved by the International Astronomical Union

4) I would say 'Autumn', an American would say 'Fall'

5) Pad see ew & massaman curry, for instance.

6) 2012 Olympics. Blue-fin tuna. Bag of Dorito's

7) Where you might find Han Solo?

8) Snoopy would probably eat here

9) To which the answer might be: "Si, il penne arrabiatta per favore"
10) Where many academics would gather to eat?
11) Infinite Tekka Maki?
12) You skip. He jumps...
13) This is the place where you should question those who don’t say yes
14) Second place for Smaug perhaps?
15) 28 (admittedly this one is now out of date I think)
