  • Bombay Duck. “If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.” Remember that saying? But what if it’s named as a duck but isn’t one?
  • Prairie Oysters. “He was a bold man who first ate the oyster,” said Jonathan Swift. But what about the man who first drank the Prairie Oyster? It’s possible courage was involved there also, as the Prairie Oyster is a drink used as a hangover cure.
  • Welsh Rabbit. Photo by Tristan Kenney, CC BY 2.0. Also known as “Welsh Rarebit,” this food has nothing to do with either rabbits or rarebits. There are also Scotch Rabbits and English Rabbits, but nobody has yet recorded an Irish Rabbit.
  • Sweetbreads. If you’re looking for a sweetened bread, this is not what you want to order. Though sweetbreads are fairly uncommon on menus today, they can turn up on the menus of upscale restaurants, where they’ll be known (in French, because in French everything sounds better) as “ris de veau.”
  • Lion’s Head. Photo by Michael C. Berch, CC BY-SA 4.0. Eating a lion’s head is simple. Especially when the lion’s head is actually a yummy meatball. This dish is common in Chinese cuisine, with a range of variations that include cabbage, bamboo shoots, tofu and water chestnut.
