What's your favorite food name?

[amanda_pennsylvania]

Cheez's mulligatawny soup recipe inspired me to think of this. Love the name "mulligatawny." I also recently came across "pandowdy," which appears to be a sort of baked fruit dessert. My favorite word of all time is "pamplemousse," which is French for grapefruit.

Your turn...

Aubergine.

Bawbee Baps (Scottish breakfast pastry) and Olliebollen are two of my ...

...favorite food names.

Then there's "Shnitzengruben", but I think Mel Brooks made that one up.

Succotash, Johnnycake, Clafoutis, Bienenstich, Bananarama, (oops, that last one isn't a food.

 

[marilynfl]

Wienerschnitzel. (It sounds so fairy tale-ish fake.)

 

[marilynfl]

Spatchcocked chicken (makes me think of poultry bondage)

 

[angak1]

Briami, Polenta, Streusel, Monkey Bread, Malbec

 

[erininny]

Bibimbap. Sbrisulona. "Dessert menu."

 

[karennoca]

quinoa, because non-foodies never pronouce it right, and folks have never heard of it.

Do food prep methods count? I like Mise en place, because when I ask, "do you do mise en place?" I love seeing the look on peoples faces.

Chocolate! I like the way the "ch" "k" "l and t" all play in my mouth sounding like "choklit"

 

[angak1]

Pflaumenkuchen. for Marilyn.

 

[sallybr]

Refuse to put this to the title....

.... but I must say the first time I saw "Spotted Dick" in a cookbook I almost passed out laughing

 

[curious1]

I like the word choucroute for some reason.

 

[joe]

I just had it for lunch. That's a good reason!

 

[curious1]

Yum, I made my yearly batch a week or so ago.

 

[michael-in-phoenix]

"Bangers and Mash" always gives me pause.

 

[erininny]

Oh, and schneeballen!
