About This Quiz

Do you ever hear that rumble in your tummy? The growls that keep getting louder as each minute passes by? Those are called hunger cravings, and they can happen anytime, anywhere. Maybe it's because you skipped breakfast while getting ready for work, or perhaps you've been dying for some potato chips lately. So let's talk about everyone's favorite thing in this world: food.

Food brings friends and families together and provides a sense of comfort and warmth. Certain foods may also bring back childhood memories, so perhaps some of your cravings have a longing for the past. But cravings could depend on what kind of food you lack in your life. For instance, maybe you're on a no-sugar diet, and you've been eager to munch on a cupcake. Or, perhaps you haven't had Japanese food in forever, which means that some sushi rolls and takoyaki have a secret place in your heart. Now, generally speaking, food can be broken down into the five "taste" categories, which are bitter, sour, salty, sweet and umami. So if you can identify which taste category you crave the most, then maybe you'll learn how to combat those cravings when they strike next! So if you're feeling hungry, then it's time to take this foodie quiz!
