Every Taiwanese food lover knows about coffin bread and cow’s tongue cookies. But have you heard of these other unusually named foods from around the world?

                                                          Welsh Rabbit

No rabbits are harmed in the making of Welsh rabbit. Rather, it’s a simple dish of toast topped with melted cheese and sometimes sauces, spices, or even beer. It is eaten across the UK and likely doesn’t come from Wales. Why, then, is it called Welsh rabbit? Historians think it probably started as a joke—one meant to make fun of the Welsh by suggesting they were too poor to eat real rabbit meat.

                                                           Dutch Babies

Dutch babies are giant pancakes served with sweet treats like honey and fruit or savory foods like bacon and eggs. Unlike regular pancakes, they’re cooked in the oven, which makes them light and fluffy. They got their name when an American restaurateur started making German pancakes and mistakenly confused the German word for German, Deutsch, with Dutch. The name has stuck with the dish ever since.

                                                            Head Cheese

Despite its name, there is no cheese in head cheese. It’s actually a cold, savory jelly usually made with meat from a pig’s or calf’s head. It was first created in Europe hundreds of years ago. Back then, wealthy people got all the best meat, so poorer people had to be creative with what was left. These days, head cheese is less common, but it can still be found in countries from Scotland to Spain.

                                                             Ants on a Log

Ants on a log isn’t as scary as it sounds. It’s simply a celery stick (the “log”) cut in half, filled with peanut butter, and dotted with raisins (the “ants”). It’s an easy snack for kids to make and enjoy. Plus, there are lots of ways to change it up, like switching the raisins for other dried fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips!

So, when you’re feeling hungry, why not fill up on some “ants” or “babies”? Don’t tell anybody, though—they might think you’ve gone crazy!
