Strange Culinary Names. Can You Think Of Any?

Bubble & Squeak -- I don't care what they say about it being the noise it makes sputtering in the pan, I still think of the noise it makes travelling through your digestive system.

What the Joy of Cooking refers to as the American Fruit Dessserts: pandowdies, cobblers, grunts, slumps, crisps, betties, buckles, clafouties. Very evocotive names.

No shepherd or sheep in Shepherd's pie. I have to admit, bubble and squeak fills my head with all kinds of imaginations, and spotted dick from urmaniacs post gets me laughing so hard.

We have a passed down family recipe for a really good comfort food dish
called "City Chicken".

It's not chicken at all. It's pork and veal alternating on a skewer, spices, breaded with cracker crumbs, pan fried to brown, then slow cooked with cream of mushrom soup over it in the oven or an electric skillet.

mmmmmmm nummy!
