Weird family names for food - can you guess what 'Snuffaluffs' are?

[LaurieFairyCake]

That's what we call falafels started by dd when she was little.

Who else has weird food names?

Bonks.

What we called Weetabix as kids. No idea how that started!

When I was little, dm referred to crumpets as verrucas...
Can't eat them now.

Soreen is baby bread.
I like to imagine it’s because it’s made of babies but DS insists it’s because it’s a baby loaf of bread.

Chocolate spread is nimnim in our house.

It's not food, but to tell our kids it's bedtime, we say 'poopy fishsticks' or 'poopers time'. I can't for the life of me remember where that came from.

Actually we don't really speak english in our house, it's 90% gibberish. It's just as well they go to school.

We refer to sweetcorn as yellow peas. Thats about it

Rice cakes are "puffies" in our house. Probably because it's puffed rice!

Munch bunch squashums are known as dinosaur eggs. 🦖🥚

we call Mr Kipling cake bars ticky ping cakes due to OH mishearing me one day & being all confused about what a ticky ping cake was

Never ate Garibaldi biscuits since someone called them fly cemeteries☹️

My dd referred to milk as mook. Her logic was cows say moo! She's 12 and we still say it.

We also call calpol cowpooh. 🤪

fly cemeteries . We called them fly pies!

Evaporated milk is elephant milk, my Grandad used to call it that (and I believed him til I was far too old)
Eggerlamays - egg mayonnaise because my sister called it that when she was tiny.

Rat and mouse.
Ratatouille and moussaka.

A favourite of my children when they were small was cheese and pineapple on sticks. We called them (and still do) Scooby Snacks. No idea why.

My ds sometimes still calls grapes bungleberries. God knows where he got that from

Messy bridge dinner = spare ribs. My nephew was undergoing treatment for leukemia when he was 3 and really, really REALLY wanted messy bridge dinner. Took us a while to work that one out

Kiwi fruit were hairy horses when I was a child,.I call most food spicy that I dont want to share with ds

Skiddlydoos - sausages in tortilla wraps from the barbecue. Named because my DM was once counting them out under her breath and went “one, two, skiddlydoo”. We all heard, boggled a bit then it stuck!

And my dad once told DB (when he was 3) that jumbo sausages were made of elephants. He was inconsolable and hasn’t touched them since (he’s 51).

Fairy toast- choc spread and sprinkles is known as hypertoast

Peach iced tea is called bitch ass tea. The result of misshearing!

Booper for jumper because when my son was little he'd say 1-2-3-BOOP instead of jump.

Swiss roll is called roly poly!

One time DH forgot the name for custard momentarily and called it 'cake gravy'. It's been that ever since.

My DD came home from a friends house and said they had had bull-doze with pizza (dough balls)

Flippy flappy chickens ds is deaf and often mishears and guesses, this is what he called profiteroles and it has stuck.

He was also a terrible eater so I told him crumpets were tubby toast which has also stuck

... he is 18 now
