Sweet/amusing names for food

I'm working on a project for our preschool about real vs kids names for food - yogurts in our house have always been 'yog-yogs'.
Does anyone have any examples? Hugely grateful if so :)

My ds always said booblies instead of blueberries!

We have loads for cereal for some reason:

Weetabix is 'bus one' (because the packet from Sainsbo's has a bus on it)
Readybrek is 'hot one'
Bran flakes are 'Daddy brown flakes' (because he eats them)
Special K is ' flakes' (because she eats them)
Museli is 'moogli'
Cheerios are 'hoopla'
Rice crispies are 'nice crispies'

Yoghurt was always 'dogurt'
Potato was 'tatato'
Avocado was 'amacado'
olives were 'ov-uvs'

Sadly they've grown out of most of these Sad

Bran flakes are 'brown flakes' - cornflakes therefore are 'orange brown flakes' Hmm

Mart marts for tomatoes
crisps are crispspspspsps
sausages were hosses. Slightly disturbing....

In our house, we don't have jellybabies, we have jealous babies.
Milk is inexplicably called goole.

Cous cous is whiskers according to DS1 (even at 6.5yrs old...)

Not really relevant but a little boy visiting my house recently called Chris on Cbeebies Crisp. You be Poi and I'll be Crisp he said. LOL
