Coining strange names for foods

[mtbc]

I noticed that in household conversations we give odd names to some of our foods. For instance, today I bought butter. Our butter dish has the outward appearance of a ceramic hedgehog. So, to refer to butter from the block in the dish we speak of hedgehog butter. Or, the connection may be looser: for example, we eat Star Wars cheese: compare,


with,
In their attempts at specificity I wonder what names other families come up with. In that latter case, perhaps the same as we have.

I can't think of any food's that we specify in that way. Paul does the cooking, and often serves the same items together. I tease him by naming these combinations. For example, "the beige meal" is breaded pork chops, applesauce and corn.
