The standard is pretty bad. The identification test this week was quite funny. Even my mostly non cooking husband knew 3 out of 4. He didn't know turmeric, but I only know because it's such a trendy ingredient and you see pictures of it everywhere.
Greg's an idiot though. He's so often wrong about stuff and I would love to see an on screen apology from him some time. When he said that cardamom was hard, we both said "no it isn't". Most people got that one right didnt they?
