Strangest food name!
 
What's the strangest food name you've heard of?

Eggplant ttly! Since I thought it was a plant.. until Erica mentioned it and I googled it.

Broccoli. I dunno it's just a weird word. Lotsa O's and C's in it.

I love Germany. It's such a great country.

They have 18x10cm marshmallow-filled chocolate cyllinders (if you live in the UK, it's similar to Tunnock's Tea Cakes) called Super Dickmanns! Before you scream for this profanity to cease, it's German for "super fat men" and they sort of look like it.

They also have ice lollies called Bum-Bums and Blackies. And a pepsi-orange drink called Schwip-Schwap!

I love Germany! http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r396/super-serious/flag_german.gif

Chicharones

It's just the Spanish work for pork rinds, but since I live in Texas, and most of the pork rinds I see in stores are imported from Mexico, that's the word I tend to use more often... and I just love to say the word. :D

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ May 12th, 2010 10:52 AM

Kumquat. I've never eaten one, but it's just a fun word to say :P

Mattysaurus May 12th, 2010 2:19 PM

I love Spanish names for food! ^^;

Like 'frijoles' and 'chamoy'. I love those names. Not weird, but cool. :D

Hah, I would say this one also. It sounds funny to me xD

Kura May 13th, 2010 2:36 PM

Chutney.. I dunno what it is about it but it reminds me of a word for like.. some sort of sticky chimney glue..

Ayselipera May 13th, 2010 3:30 PM

Probably spotted dick which is a type of English pudding. I'm guessing you know why.

Eeohnex May 13th, 2010 4:09 PM

Calzones, it means underwear in Spanish. But it's so good, it's better than pizza, if you have no idea what it is, Google it. ;)

Esper May 13th, 2010 7:07 PM

Would anyone like a drink of some refreshing Calpis? How about a Crunky bar? There's always the old classic, Pocari Sweat.

RYOUKI May 14th, 2010 1:04 AM

Er, Watercress. I don't know, but I just find it a bit odd.

curiousnathan May 14th, 2010 2:27 AM

Um, babagannoy. I thought you actualy say the word, you include the 'noy' when actualy it is a 'oosh' so > Babaganoosh is how it sounds when you say it. :cer_eek:

Zeffy May 14th, 2010 3:18 AM

The strangest for me was Kimchi from Korea. Apart from its strange name its a good dish, nonetheless. Also have you heard of 'Nilasing na Hipon'? Its a delicacy here in our place and in English, it's called "Drunken Shrimp" xD.

TheUltimateSacrifice May 14th, 2010 4:25 AM

Poppycock. No, I am not pulling your leg!

This. xD

I don't even know what it is, but my friend was telling me a few weeks ago about eating one. Can't recall if she liked it or not. I just remembered when I saw this thread. xD

LOL I know that XD That is the weirdest name, yeah.

Other than that, I'd say zucchini. It's funny (and kumquat o.o)

DoctorFred May 14th, 2010 3:52 PM

Ding Dong - I dunno, it's just random and weird. The sound a doorbell makes.

Åzurε May 14th, 2010 4:20 PM

"Why do they call it ratatouille? It doesn't sound delicious. Sounds more like rat and patootie. Rat patootie!"
And yes, the man was drunk at the time.

Chutney and couscous sound funny to me. I'd also like to take this opportunity to have a childish giggle at the previous poster's selected foods.

TRIFORCE89 May 14th, 2010 6:28 PM

Eggplant is a plant. You weren't mistaken. O_o As are all fruits and vegetables.

Lunamewtwo May 14th, 2010 6:30 PM

christophene. Thought I was eating a person

Or they were quoting the film, Ratatouille.

Not a specific food, but Offal is an interesting food term. Refers to all the stuff we tend to ignore in North America. Internal organs and other things we don't eat. I'm sure to lot of people, the thought of eating such things would be awful - so the name offal to describe something awful amuses me XD

We eat kidney, liver, and brain all of the time in North America D:

Now, eating a bladder would be a bit Offal >_>

I have to agree with kumquat.
