Strangest food name!

[Ho-Oh]

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.

 

[The Cynic]

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!

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™]

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

 

[Mattysaurus]

I love Spanish names for food! ^^;

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

 

[mikey]

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

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

 

[Kura]

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

 

[Ayselipera]

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

 

[Eeohnex]

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]

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

 

[RYOUKI]

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

 

[curiousnathan]

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]

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]

Poppycock. No, I am not pulling your leg!

 

[Honest]

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

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

 

[Yusshin]

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

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]

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

 

[Åzurε]

"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.

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