Imaginative names for vegetables

Hi,
I'm currently trying to expand my pre-schooler's tastes when it comes to eating veg (and fruit to a lesser extent). I've found that if I give them different names, he will at least try i.e. peas - Shrek berries...that sort of thing. But I'm running out of ideas.
Has anyone else got any good ones they can share?

we have 'tubby chips' (roast pots - chips and TV there's good parenting! worked though)

clouds - mash

my all time favourite isn't a name, it's 'The traffic light game'..

say who can eat something green/red/brown/whatever

they love it and dont seem to mind that traffic lights dont have all these colours

and works for getting them to try something new

Baby trees for broccoli?

Roast carrot batons and call them chips with a suntan?

Charlie and Lola of course...thanks

We've done cheese, peas and broccoli trees - he's like the rhyming. And baby cabbages for sprouts...but you can see why I need help. Lol
