Pet names for children based on food

During DD's friends staying over, I discovered that their parent-given nicknames are all food-based!

Pudding, Pickle, Noodle and Cupcake.

Not uncommon, but I just wondered which other foody nicknames are in use out there in MNland? Can we get through all the food groups? Grin

I was also lovingly called Stringbean by my grandpa Hmm

My DD is often Pumpkin. Occasionally Pumpkin Pie. Sweetie is an obvious one but is technically food based. Sweetie pie too.
