…tell us what it is! This started when I pronounced ‘freckafree!’ out loud cause it just sounded like a fun word, and it is! And then I thought “Hey, that sounds like a sugar-free gum”. Taomist…sounds like a green, sparkly tea drink of some type. ---

Mine is too, with a PETA-style caveat attached to it, which in fact is counter to my beliefs. Fuck PETA and everything they stand for. Oh, this isn’t Great Debates? Shit. ---

Some kind of Asian dish I suppose. Possibly containing dog. :eek: ---

I think I’d taste citrusy… and would take a few bites to get used to. Oh, and don’t catch me on a bad day because I might be bitter… ---

Tumbleddown would probably be some manner of cooking eggs. I dislike eggs. ---

Icky. Really, really tough, and chewy, and dry. It would probably taste like paper, with a bit of ‘potato skin’ flavor thrown in. ---

Mine is, too. (“Turkey breast” in Hungarian. But I don’t particularly like turkey breast.) ---

“Celyn” being “holly”, I think I would be pretty toxic, and no-one would like me. ---

A tea flavored gum. It would still help you “stay fresh a little longer.” ---

Depends on how you pronounce it, I think. “Lee-koh” Leiko (that’s the name in my head) sounds like leek soup. “Like-oh” Leiko would be a gamer/internet nerd targeted range of “deceptive” foods. The brand would start with what looks like bacon but is actually a flavored/scented piece of sugar candy and eventually grow in a huge brand. If, you know, it was a food. (I initially misinterpreted the question as “What would your name be if you have to be named after food?” and I was going to say scalloped potatoes because they’re delicious as hell, a bit salty, and for me they’re full of tradition and I like tradition.) ---

A classy alcoholic beverage garnished with a dash of gunpowder, I’d say. 🙂 ---

Mine already is, but if it were a food product or recipe or some such, I suppose it would be some kind of [salamagundi](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmagundi) ---
