  Truffles.  There are truffles that pigs forrage for and then there are the delectable chocolate yummies that have nothing to do with the other.

Chicken-fried or country-fried steak is usually made with round steak, tenderized/pulverized then dipped in an egg and milk mixture, then dredged in seasoned flour or bread crumbs. The coated steak is then fried in hot fat until the coating is crispy and browned, much like fried chicken. A milk gravy is often made to be served with the steak, along with mashed potatoes and or biscuits.

I eat head cheese (occasionally), only because I started eating it when I was a kid and didn't know what it really was.  I haven't ever bought head cheese, but we have elderly relatives who used to serve it.

I made a pork pot-pie once, that had no pork in it.  I forgot to add the lovely little cubed pieces of pork at the end.

  We still called it Pork Pot-Pie. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/e058.gif" border=0]

Well....that depends on how you make it, whether it fits this category or not.

  I use real shepherds.

Pigs in the blanket was the first funny food name that I have encountered.

  Pâté Chinois - that's how the Québécois called Shepherd Pie. I guess the yellow in the corn (and mashed potatoes) gives its name, and yeah, it's ground beef, not ground mutton.

  General Tao Chicken. I always tell everyone that General Tao is Colonel Sanders boss, the one that taught him everything about chicken.
