Funny food names

We've done this one before, but the Ropa Vieja thread reminded me of some of the less than appetising or comical names we give our food.

Dominicans have "mala rabia", and "majarete".

Brits have the dubious sounding "spotted d!ck".

What others can you think of?

Danes have "burning love" and we have "rabo encendido".

How about "añuga-perros", or "rompe-dientes".
