Funny food names on menus

As I was posting to the chicken wing thread, I was musing on the different ways wing shops describe/name their hottest sauce. "Melt your fillings" was the one I recalled. It reminded me of other funny named foods I have seen on menus. Now, I know the Brits serve some funny named stuff, but I'm guessing you'll find spotted dicks all over the place. I'm looking for the unique names only found in one spot.

My favorites come from a pair of related restaurants back where I'm from originally. I have no idea if Fitzwilly's still exists in Northampton, MA or Fitzsnuggy's is still on Riverdale Street in West Springfield.

Fitzsnuggy's named sandwiches for celebrities (no particular reason I know of). Their tuna salad was "Ike and Tina Tuna". Their cream cheese and olive sandwich was named Cream Abdul Jabbar.

I never discerned a pattern in Fitzwilly's food names. They had a m,ssive chocolate ice cream/cake dessert called "Daddy, I don't want to eat this".

In both places, they wouldn't take an order unless you used the exact name.

Others?
