Guacemole
Delish, but such an ugly name!
Goulash. Sounds like ghoulash. :eek:
Pigs-in-a-blanket
Chinese gooseberry.
Spray cheese.
Haggis. Gross AND gross sounding.
Offal. I guess it sounds marginally better than intestines, but that’s about the only thing it’s got going for it.
Strange flavored sauce
Cock a Leekie
Eggplant
It’s not egg shaped, it’s not white, it doesn’t even remotely resemble an egg in any way, shape, or form. If you called it, say, a “purple squash”, I’d probably at least try it. But EGGPLANT? Bleh, I’ll just have the water please.
I agree with George Carlin, yogurt!
A sweetbread is a type of meat
That is neither bread nor sweet.
So since it’s neither sweet nor bread
I think I’ll have a bun instead.

Head Cheese
Thousand-year-old egg
That’s racist!
But seriously - some cultivars, especially older ones, are white/yellow. Like these.
In addition, Thai and Indian eggplant are egg shaped and roughly somewhere between a chicken and a goose egg in size. The Thai ones are even light in color, about the shade of a white grape.
Have you tried it?
We say “calamari” since no one would eat it if you called it “fried squid”.
So who decided to keep “pig’s feet” as it is?
Cod tongues (a big deal in Newfoundland)
Poutine (cause it’s got, you know, pou in it)
Scrapple and (I did not know of this variant until just now) Livermush.
Gazpacho.
Vichyssoise. Too sibilant.
There’s also anything involving the unfortunately named Calpis.
