Recently, my brother went to a bowling alley, and someone bought him a doughnut from a vending machine. It was named a "bismarck" instead. Why not take that idea farther? Foods could be arbitrarily named after places, making them more exciting. I suggest using catchy names, like "oakland" or "deadwood."
Hard to read words like "Wausau" might describe exotic foods...
Sandwich, the sandwich and The Earl of Sandwich

Llanfair Caereinion - its a different one! |

You mean like Hamburger? Sandwich? New York Steak? California Rolls? Swiss Roll? Peking Duck? Bombe Alaska? Welsh Rarebit? French Toast? Caesar Salad? Waldorf Salad? Chinese Gooseberries (Kiwi fruit)? |
|

I think this concept may have been baked a while back. |
|
| |
Although there is, of course, a place called Sandwich, the sandwich is named after the Earl of Sandwich, not Sandwich per se. |
|
| |
The Earl of Sandwich was named after Sandwich, though, yes? |
|
| |
Well, the word in his title derived from the town's name, at least. Good thing, or we'd all be eating portsmouths. |
|
| |
Aren't we all glad he wasn't The Fourth Earl Of Foggy Bottom? |
|
| |
Pity Me is in County Durham, about twenty miles from me. Is there one in Norfolk as well? |
|
| |
I thought this was going to be about *really* strange names for food, like calling a carrot "Mick O'Shea Ricochet Benzine Sucotaph". |

sorry, angel, deleted annotation instead of editing it! you are correct - I was just getting confused. |
|

If you visit Kent, you can see a road sign pointing to Ham
and Sandwich. |
