Do you have a local name for an ubiquitous food?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37334points) March 9th, 2011

Here in Hawaii, we call snow cones “ice shave”. Some people insist on calling it “shaved ice”. The old Japanese who still speak that language amongst themselves (not realizing that some others speak it, too) call it “kakigouri”.

What about where you live? What’s a food that can be found practically anywhere that has an interesting name in your locality?
