Guessing Game: Edible Flags
11:53 am Monday Apr 12, 2010 by Andrew Hwang

Whybin TBWA Australia and The Sydney International Food Festival cooked up a clever way to promote last year’s fest — they used iconic foods from the participating countries to recreate their flags. From the green-white-red of basil-spaghetti-tomatoes to the orange-white-green of tikka masala-rice-saag, the results are both appetizing and a little reminiscent of middle-school geography class. Which brings us to our challenge: Can you correctly identify these 12 culinary flags?


Japan


Italy


Spain


India


South Korea


France


Vietnam


Switzerland


Greece


Lebanon


Australia


Brazil

Mouse over the blacked out area for the answer.

The food flags look delicious, but identifying the countries, you’ve got to be kidding, geography was never my cup of tea. bd

You don’t have any hole in swiss cheese. It’s gruyère and without hole!
Nice idea btw :-)

@Brenda – If you’d read it all through, you might have seen the text: “Mouse over the blacked out area for the answer” or even better, get your self an atlas!
