The correct answer is the Bar-headed Goose (or Asian Goose,) that regularly migrates over the Himalayas. While there have been records of the occasional bird of other species going higher, this is the 'species' considered to be the highest flying. I know for sure I ain't goin' up that high!

One of you please put up a new question. I have to leave for the day.

How about a food quiz. I found this online. One point for each right answer.


1) If you had Lafite-Rothschild on your dinner table, what would it be?
2) What is sushi traditionally wrapped in?
3) May Queen, Wisley Crab, Foxwhelps and Lane's Prince Albert are all species of what?
4) What is allspice alternatively known as?
5) What colour is Absynth?
6) What flavour is Cointreau?
7) If you were to cut a hare into pieces, marinate it in wine and juniper berries then stew this slowly in a sealed container, what would this recipe be called?
8) Fried taratulas, eggs boiled just before they're due to hatch, live octopus, and puffin hearts eaten raw when still-warm, are all traditional foods - true or false?
9) How many crocus flowers does it take to make a pound of saffron?
10) Costing around $2,600 per pound, and made only to order by Knipschildt, what is the name of this chocolate truffle?
