Silly Food Name Inside Jokes

Posted by nightowl, December 21, 2008

My boyfriend just taunted me (long-distance) with a bowl of Bambi chili. When we talk about rabbit meat, it's always Thumper. We pronounce "pizza" as "peek-za", and refer to mushrooms as "death" since he has an allergy to them. Orange juice gets an extra "j" sound added to the beginning. Knives are pronounced "k-ni-fees". What kind of silly food names or jokes do you have?
