    I've been looking at some unusual British dishes:
    Spotted dick
    Faggots and peas
    Bangers and mash
    Bubble and squeak

    What would you consider a strange or funny name for a dish ?

    Since I'm in America, I do know that Brits think our breakfast of biscuits and gravy... Is odd since our biscuit is a plain scone and not a sweet cookie, ( and the gravy has sausage cooked and crumbled in a creamy gravy with lots of pepper)

    i think the brits must love to play with their food, as all the furst ones to come to mind are from there.
    the op already mentioned a couple of them. to me, kidney pie sounds really odd. as does haggis.

    outside of gt brit, there's bratworshed, however its spelled.
    there are some southeast asian things that i forget what their called.

    there are also of course, things actually made from ingredients stranger then there names,
    but of course that's a seperate subject. fine foods, unapitizingly named, made from perfectly innocent things,
    i think gt brit is champ for coming up with those.

    Sounds good darlin' but I bet our 'fry up' breakfasts beats it - Eggs, bacon, sausages, black pudding, mushrooms, baked beans, toast & coffee !!!

    WE have a dish called boneless birds.
    It's a strange name for a dish because it's a beef dish, there are no birds in it, nor any bones for that matter
