Dine Out for A Safer Atlanta, Weird Food Names …
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Dine Out For a Safer Atlanta, a benefit to help find the assailants of the recent murder of bartender John Henderson at the Standard, is scheduled for tonight at several restaurants across the city. Funds raised will go to the Atlanta Police Foundation and increase the Crime Stoppers reward. Just click on the link to get a list of participating restaurants.
I’ve been on the DL for the past two days, having injured my arm pretty badly at the gym. Thank goodness for steroids …
During my downtime, my daughter and I came up with a list of foods we think have really weird names, mainly because they sounds like something else we really wouldn’t want to eat. We actually like these foods, but think they sounds goofy. Here are a few:
Larb: This delicious Thai salad of minced pork or chicken sounds more like a type of worm to us.
Pu Pu Platter: love the variety, but come on.
Cochon: the French word for a pork dish sounds naughty to us — like a house of ill repute or something.
Rillette: is it a game? Is it something you use as a garden tool? Oh! It’s a kind of pate!
Frisee: fuzzy lettuce that sounds like a bedroom romp.
You get the idea. What weird food names make you laugh and scratch your head?
