(March 2009) Culinary names, menu names, or kitchen names are names of foods used in the preparation or selling of food, as opposed to their names in agriculture or in scientific nomenclature. The menu name may even be different from the kitchen name. For example, from the 19th until the mid-20th century, many restaurant menus were written in French and not in the local language. Examples include veal (calf), calamari (squid), scampi (Italian-American name for shrimp), and sweetbreads (pancreas or thymus gland). Culinary names are especially common for fish and seafood, where multiple species are marketed under a single familiar name. Foods may come to have distinct culinary names for a variety of reasons: Euphemism: the idea of eating some foods may disgust or offend some eaters regardless of their actual taste. Testicles: Rocky Mountain oysters, lamb fries, or animelles Soft roe or white roe is a name for fish milt. "Australus" has been proposed as a name for kangaroo meat. "Sweetbreads" are not breads by any means, they are actually the thymus gland, normally from a calf. Attractiveness: the traditional name may be considered dull, undistinctive, or unattractive. The Chinese gooseberry was renamed the kiwifruit, which has now become its agricultural name as well. The dolphinfish is often referred to as mahi-mahi in order to discourage confusion with actual dolphin meat. Comparison with more familiar foods The Patagonian toothfish is marketed as the Chilean sea bass Grouping of a variety of sources under a single name Tuna includes several different species Evocation of more prestigious, rarer, and more expensive foods for which they are a substitute Lumpsucker (or lumpfish) roe is named lumpfish caviar Cassia bark is called cinnamon in North America. In North America, many flounder species are called soles, e.g. Microstomus pacificus is named "Dover sole" Evocation of a specific culinary tradition Shrimp in Italian-American contexts is often called scampi Social differences Beef, veal, pork, mutton, and venison were the words used by the French-speaking lords in post-Conquest England. Other In French, chestnuts are called châtaignes on the tree, but marrons in the kitchen. Often several of these reasons coincide. Many North Americans would find "squid" disgusting as a food, but "calamari" evokes Italian tradition. This food-related article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. v • d • e
