Strange food names

 name foods after places

Recently, my brother went to a bowling alley, and someone bought him a doughnut from a vending machine. It was named a "bismarck" instead. Why not take that idea farther? Foods could be arbitrarily named after places, making them more exciting. I suggest using catchy names, like "oakland" or "deadwood." Hard to read words like "Wausau" might describe exotic foods...

       Although there is, of course, a place called Sandwich, the sandwich is named after the Earl of Sandwich, not Sandwich per se.

       The Earl of Sandwich was named after Sandwich, though, yes?

       Actually, no. (linky)
—angel, Mar 13 2002
   

       Well, the word in his title derived from the town's name, at least. Good thing, or we'd all be eating portsmouths.

       Pity Me is in County Durham, about twenty miles from me. Is there one in Norfolk as well?

       I thought this was going to be about *really* strange names for food, like calling a carrot "Mick O'Shea Ricochet Benzine Sucotaph".

       If you visit Kent, you can see a road sign pointing to Ham and Sandwich.
