Most of these are going to be guesses.

(1) Imma say this is fact, because while the name sounds like a vegetable sauce, it literally means something to the effect of "salt room place".
(2) Crap, because I've heard no such thing.
(3) Crap. James Dean was nominated for an Oscar after his death, but I don't think he won, after.
(4) Sure, why not. They're always in your face, and some people really hate onions.
(5) True... because it sounds true.
