Sorry, it seems like a whole lessons section is missing from the app. The only way someone can learn currently is by guessing all of the quiz sections.
First question received: "The best indicator of freshness for ground beef is: a) smell, b) whether it was frozen, c) the manufacture date, d) color.
The answer "a" smell was marked incorrect, "c" manufacture date was the "correct one". Uh... maybe... unless it wasn't stored properly.
Other questions: Is all ground beef the same? How long can fresh ground beef can be kept in the refrigerator for?
It really isn't helpful to guess my way through some quizzes to get access to a recipe.
People may enjoy guessing during quizzes on Duolingo because they either have the capability of guessing because they know another similar language for example. But cooking is like an art and a science. A random fact like how long ground beef takes to spoil has no relation to how long you need to cook ground beef and to what temperature according to the food safety guidelines of the country in which one currently resides.
I assume I'm like the other commenters that love cooking, but are trying to find a nice way of saying that guessing food trivia doesn't seem fun.
That's insane. How often do you have the manufacture date of your meat?
If you buy it from a supermarket in plastic packaging then sure. But I usually get my mince in a bag from the butcher, it's cheaper and fresher. Smell and colour is all I can go off.
