What is Hoss eating in Bonanza?
The middle Cartwright brother had an appetite as big as the Ponderosa!
CBS Television Distribution
Dan Blocker was the perfect actor to play Hoss Cartwright. His imposing figure gave the middle Cartwright brother a strong presence while his jovial personality meant Bonanza could pull off scenes with heart and humor.
It’s no surprise that the gentle giant of the Ponderosa had an immense appetite, and his ability to clear his plate (well, many plates) factored into a few classic episodes.

I refreshed the list after reading my incorrect answers and got 10 out of 10
I figured Hoss would have eaten rabbit before -- especially out on the trail, camping. Heck, I ate fried rabbit a couple of times as a kid on Grandpa's ranch in Texas.
4 out of 10. About what I expected

3/10! missed numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6, and 7. blech.
8 for 10.
Ironically, "Hop Sing" was the most erudite and best educated person on Bonanza.
He spoke many languages and was an intellectual. In later years when armed
terrorists tried to hijack the jet he was on, he fought them and got shot.
No wonder Hoss would always back down when Hop Sing got mad at him.
Victor Sen Yung later appeared on To Tell The Truth, and despite being
on the number one show on TV for years, none of the panel could pick
him out! He also had a very long career in the movies.
I still can't figure how they didn't recognize him.

I really like Bonanza but I don't watch it over and over like I have some of the other old ones. I only got five out of 10 right this time, nothing to brag about!
