    Default Foods with funny and/or rude-sounding names

    Can you share any amusing examples with us? Here in Britain, we have such culinary marvels as...

    Toad in the Hole

    I nominate faggots as my rude sounding food of choice. The jokes write themselves, really.

    They're made from off-cuts and offal, but especially pork, minced together into a rough ball shape. My mother loves them, and I always tease her about them from time to time.

    I had them and thought they were delicious, just that when I heard the name at first I thought it sounded funny. I have to make it sometime though.

    Polish name for pepper is "pieprz" and here's the funny thing:
    "Pieprzyć" means "to use pepper" or "to smurf something/somebody"... XD

    Ooh, that reminds me. There's this joke about a Polish guy trying to order a rare steak at a restaurant. In Polish, the word for rare is "krwisty", which means full of blood.

    So the guy says:

    "I'd like a bloody steak. What do you recommend on the side?"

    And the waiter says:

    "How about some smurfing potatoes?"

    English people call sausages 'bangers', Australian people call boobs 'bangers'.
