Misleading Food Names

I was listening to Red Fm yesterday night, and i heard something very interesting and it is worth to share!

It is Top 10 MIsleading Food Names, although I did not manage to jot down all 10 of the names, but i still manage to get a few from the DeeJay, Cheryl.

1. ROCKY MOUNTAIN OYSTERS

This has neither related to Rocky Mountain nor oysters! Can you guess what is the dish? I bet you cannot think of that coming! Rocky Mountain oysters is a North American culinary name for edible offal, specifically buffalo, boar, or bull testicles. They are usually peeled, coated in flour, pepper and salt, sometimes pounded flat, then deep-fried.

2. FRENCH FRIES

I dare you do not see this coming either! French fries did not originate from France! Where did it originate? Yes! It is Belgium.

3. SWEETBREAD

The dish is neither bread nor sweet. Sweetbreads are the thymus glands/pancreas of lamb, beef, or pork.

4. BOMBAY DUCK

Eww... This is gross! Bombay duck or bummalo is, despite its name, not a duck but a lizardfish.

(You may think this is too harsh to call or see in the menue, but, the reality is just too 'frank')

5. SPOTTED DICK

Spotted dick is a steamed suet pudding containing dried fruit (usually currants), commonly served with either custard or butter and brown sugar. Spotted refers to the dried fruit (which resemble spots) and Dick may be a contraction/corruption of the word pudding (from the last syllable) or possibly a corruption of the word dough.[1] It is possibly conjugated originally from sticky pudding to dicky pudding to dicky to dick and finally spotted dick as in pudding with raisins.[citation needed] It is also known as spotted dog, plum duff, steamed dicky, figgy dowdy, dotted lloyd, packphour's lament, Dicky Widmark as well as plum bolster, dick in a box, "A DD (Dotted Dick)".
