1. What character from “One Thousand and One Nights” gave us the phrase “open sesame,” and now lends his name to a giant Chinese e-commerce company? 2. What Olympic event features a maneuver called the “death spiral? 3. What Canadian band released a hit song in 1993 that is, we’re pretty sure, the only song ever to land on the Billboard chart with 12 “M”s in its title? 4. “Second star to the right, then straight on til morning” are the directions to get to what fictional place? 5. If you break down a T-bone steak into the two cuts of meat that are separated by the T-shaped bone, the larger cut is the sirloin. What is the smaller cut called? 1. Ali Baba 2. Figure Skating 3. 4. Neverland 5. New York Strip

the death spiral sounds dangerous. It's the one where the guy holds his partner as she spins around him and dips her head toward the ice.

As I said, all these pieces of meat have different names depending on who you talk to and how the meat is cut. The muscles involved are the longissimus and the psoas major. The psoas major is the tenderloin. The longissimus is where the strip steaks come from. The "loin" is back of the cow, and the shortloin and sirloin are parts of it. In Briton, the sirloin is what the US calls the shortloin plus some of what the US calls the sirloin.

I think the cow stole Joseph's Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

FILET MIGNON (if you said tenderloin, that's not strictly wrong, but it's less correct)
Today's theme is: Sounds Tasty! Five questions about things that sound delicious.
1. What genre of film is Sergio Leone credited with launching in the mid-1960s with the film A Fistful of Dollars?
2. What product, used today from agriculture to puppet-making, did the British ironmonger Charles Barnard come up with in 1844 after studying the design of cloth weaving machines?
3. What word emerged around the time of the industrial revolution to describe the person who is the sole wage earner in a family, as opposed to the previous system of household-level collaborative work?
4. What is the term in baseball for a baserunner caught between two bases?
5. What term was coined by O. Henry in his 1904 story “The Admiral,” which was inspired by the six months he spent living in Honduras?

Anyway, it's an ambiguous question because there are so many different names for meat cuts even when you are talking about the same muscle from the same animal. 1. Spaghetti Western 2. 3. breadwinner 4. in a pickle 5. banana republic

#2 (I looked this up) He invented a wire netting machine. I suppose they are looking for the answer "chicken wire".

I don't even know what my answer is. So wrong and ignorant at the same time.

Cheesecloth is basically any cloth that you use to let the whey drain from the cheese curd. (But you can buy "food grade" cloth specifically intended for this purpose.)
