Foods With Funny-Sounding Names...?

"Bananas" are a perennial favorite. I also like "chimichangas" & "gazpacho."

What food names sound funny to you?
 
Cous-cous. I got a big laugh when the topic came up and I claimed to have seen a big sign reading "Cous - half off."

Here they're called Snags if they're made from beef.

The Brits probably win the prize for funny food names though. As Mary mentioned, they have a desert called Spotted Dick. There's also:

Toad In The Hole - a tray of Yorkshire Pudding with beef sausages in it.
Bubble and Squeak - the previous evening's left over vegetables pressed in to patties and fried.

I used to get both of those packed in my school lunch as a kid.

Aussie language tends to confuse Americans a bit too. If they come here and ask for "pie" with no other adjective what they're going to get is a hot Beef pie. In Australia if it doesn't have pastry over the top then it's not a pie, it's a Tart if it's sweet or a Flan if it's savoury. A Pizza is not a pie here, it's a Flan.

Also in Australia the word Burger refers to the type of bun the food is in, not to a beef patty. So you can ask for a chicken burger or a fish burger. Here a Sandwich means ordinary sliced bread instead of a burger bun so if you ask for a chicken sandwich that's exactly what you'll get.
 
"Pasties"...another British delicacy that has a very different meaning on the other side of the pond.

Also a very common every day food here, traditionally filled with beef and vegetables but now you can get vegetarian pasties too.
