| Start with Mr. (or Ms.) Spaghetti Squash |
 |
| Show no mercy as you wield the almighty |
 |
| Scrape out innards. Roast seeds if you have more patience than me… |
 |
| heads down, seven up- on parchment… |
 |
| bake for 45 to an hour at about 375 |
 |
| et voila! spaghetti strands of squash to scrape out with a fork! bon appetit! |
Tis the season for fall foods. Tis nearly the season for winter foods (but more on that later). Tis the blog post about silly food words! (and the final word post for the foreseeable future). I love to make squash(es) like the one above. But squash is kind of a funny word for a food! After all, we don’t actually “squash” it, right?
Oh, the things I ponder on the meri-go-round…
What are some other silly food words? I’m so glad you asked!
-jambalaya, bouillabaise, gumbo, vichysoise are all funny soup names!
-eggplant- what the duck does this mean? I can think of a lot of eggier shaped foods than an eggplant, if that’s where it got the name…
-spotted dick- Discovered this one upon visiting my sister in London in grade school. Imagine my poor parents and probably mortified sister at the pub when I dissolved into giggles at the spotted dick…
-snickerdoodle- huh? who made this one up?
-gherkin- can’t get over this one. another Bridget jones discovery i think.
-grits- how is this appetizing?
-radicchio- this is man-go-round’s contribution. I asked him why, and if it had anything to do with the word “ridiculous,” but he just made a noise and went back to the hockey game. the world may never know…
what else? anyone else have food or cooking words that they think are funny?
Tomorrow is December, which shall begin a myriad of holiday cheer!
G’night, and Goodluck.
Meri
