Misleading Menu Monnikers.
8 Answers
Monnikers (names) of some traditional food items can, unfortunately, give the wrong impression.
For instance, Laverbread bears no relationship to any form of bread. It is basically boiled seaweed and resembles chopped cooked spinach. Very poular in South Wales and delicious when then fried and served along with bacon, cockles,sausage, mushrooms, fried bread,etc.(All on a single plate if you have a good appetite.)
Another name comes to mind.....Staffordshire Oatcakes, which are a sort of pancake made from an oat-flour batter.( Neither of which is of a cake consistency.)
There must be many more misleading menu monnikers. Do you know of any.?

Perhaps there are other folk who can find further food fripperies to add to the list which is still growing. We have found some more:-
Sweetbread (pancreas or thymus gland of calf or lamb): Sweetmeat (crystallised fruit): Mince-meat (o.k. in the 19th cent. when minced meat was mixed-in with the fruit):Kendal mint cake (a very sugary minty sweet-bar):
It's now time for a little mid-day 'pick me up'....glass of sherry or two; certainly not a Bombay Oyster as detailed by shaneystar2......Best wishes..V & R.
