Just a few food questions I’ve wondered about:
- If sour cream gets too old, does it go sour? How would you know?
- What are french fries called in France? American fries?
- What is actually special about Special K?
- Why is it called peanut butter when it has no butter?
- Why is it called sweetbread when it is neither sweet nor bread?
- For that matter, headcheese...
- There is no chicken in it, so why is it called chicken-fried steak?
- There is no rabbit in it, so why is it called Welsh Rabbit? (Also spelled rarebit in an attempt to make the name less silly.)
- Why would someone name a fish Bombay Duck?
- There is a New Zealand dish made from lamb. It's called Colonial Goose. (Of course it is.)
I'm not even going to talk about Rocky Mountain Oysters, except to say there are no oysters in the Rocky Mountains. Buyer beware.

1) When it separates and becomes green cream
2) See Pommes de Frittes
3) You've answered this one. "Why do I gotta eat this crap, Ma?" "'Cause it's Special, 'Kay?"
4) It's creamy LIKE butter.
5) To get kids to eat 'em.
6) Because 'something that would make a dog puke' was taken.
7) As one would chicken, fried, that is.
8) It's Welsh. Need I say more?
9) You got me on this one.
10)What else they got there? Either that, or something rude, unfit for this venue.
And wide decision on the oyster thing. Even getting the visual is enough.
Cheers!
