Today my parent's friends came to my house, and they gave us these "Kitchen Sink" cookies. They tasted good but the whole time I was eating them, I thought "Why name them after a metallic and wet fixture"? Apparently the meaning of the name is based on the phrase "everything but the kitchen sink", which means that they're usually (in the case of a home baker) made with whatever the baker has on hand, such as pretzels, peanut butter, etc...

But that got me wondering: Have you encountered any weirdly named foods or flavors? Is there a meaning or origin to those weird names?

In the German region Swabia they have many rather weird food names. They have a kind of pasta which name is practically "Buttonlys" ("Knöpfle"), a kind of pasta filled with meat or vegetables called "God-Bullshitters", and there is a dumping which regional name roughly translates to ... well ... "boys penis".
