🦋Daniel, I wasn’t sure if you wanted the Authors full name or his shortened name for the last question so I’ve played safe and put both on the entry.☺️🦋

I was more specific and put blue whale as my answer yesterday – does that count as a correct answer?

A proper Margherita has mozzarella, tomato and basil! I left out the tomato in my answer as I thought that the tomato base wasn’t considered a topping over here, though it is in Italy for a pizza rossa (a pizza bianca doesn’t have a tomato base).

Wendy

Found this recipe and it states : For the topping
125g ball mozzarella, sliced
handful grated or shaved parmesan

(or vegetarian alternative)
handful cherry tomatoes, halved

I lived in Italy for 5 years and a Margherita has basil on it as well as cheese and tomato. I can’t speak for the distorted British versions.

Right, I have now bookmarked the page as the last two days I have not received the daily reminder email. It is not in spam neither as I always check that daily. Happened a few times last month too. 🙁

Christine Carter

Must admit Jackie has a point, but have put 2 toppings, but worried about leaving out the third.

Guest

I wouldn’t worry, the question specifically asks about 2 toppings x

Jackie
Member
Jackie

Margherita has three toppings, the colours of the Italian flag. One of them isn’t considered a topping here, but in Italy it is.

Ive got this one right, I think, not like question 1 which I mis understood. 😂

🦋Daniel, I might have sent today’s answer (#23) twice but it is the same answer I’ve used.☺️🦋

Can the link to the competition in the reminder email be mended please

I’m assuming today you are looking for the widely accepted answer but if you discount annulled marriages (which have therefore been declared never to have been genuine marriages) then the answert is different – & that’s what comes from watching QI! Lol

Maggie
Member
Maggie

🦋Daniel, today’s clue ( #20 ) could be 1 of 2 different words, so I’ve put both as my answer as they both are the same but I’m not sure which one you wanted. Hope this is allowed ?🤔☺️🦋

Ruskin
Member
Ruskin

Please do tell – what was the other one?

Maggie
Member
Maggie

🦋Ruskin, I wasn’t sure which one Daniel wanted so I put both Guinness and Stout😊🦋
