And also Bombay duck (or BUMMALO) which is a fish.
toasted ravioli.
its not toasted.
Apple Charlotte
lol....and then there's the geoduck.....which also isn't a duck.
Here are several common ones
hotdog
chilli
french fries
lol....actually those are pretty good 49er. There are no dogs in hot dogs and chili is HOT.
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 suppose. If you can call round steak a steak.(//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif)
Fried rice except it's not really fried... you stir-fry it.

Poor Knights of Windsor
Sussex Pond Soup
Fingers of Fatima
Devils on Horseback
Welsh rarebit.
According to some older people (80+ yrs) Brazil nuts were commonly known as "N*gger Toes" and labelled as such in the grocery stores. Eeek.
a kind of processed deer meat:
Hot Stick.
and of course
Liverwurst
aka
Liver sausage, is not completely liver sausage.
here's another..
head cheese
for non canadians:
homo milk
Ewwwwww....head cheese. What a disgusting concept.
I think a ham Vietnamese sandwitch has a slice of head cheese included (French influence) with the ham slices
I'm not sure, but I think my mom used to put it in our lunches when we were kids. (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/6.gif)
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.
haggis.
you know if you hit a scots house in england with haggis it is considered a hate crime?
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]
Bombe Alasaka
Shepards Pie.
Cock-a-Leekie Soup
Well....that depends on how you make it, whether it fits this category or not.
I use real shepherds.
And when you make cottage pie you use real cottages?
pigs in blanket.
Only when I'm feeling extravagant.
(exactly what is cottage pie?)
I have a feeling that it's the same as shepherd's pie without the shepherd
How bland.
corn dog
brawn
And let's not forget the Corn Gopher
(//vny!://hyperbean8jojo.googlepages.com/CornDog.jpg)
poor gopher it looks frozen.
ice cream is another one.
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.
Pain (Bread)
General Tao Chicken. I always tell everyone that General Tao is Colonel Sanders boss, the one that taught him everything about chicken.
