18 Fun Food Names You Can Make at Home!

You might have noticed that I love funny food names. I have been sharing a few recipes with out-of-the-norm names for a while now, but I thought you'd appreciate them all in one place.

I'll be, of course, working on extending this list in the near future.

My grandfather passed away, at the age of 98, a few months ago and the 1st April was his birthday. He also loved joking about funny food names, and he would have come up with a much crazier list.

That said, I hope you will chuckle at one or two of the names, and perhaps you'll try some of the recipes. They all taste marvelous!
