In reply to Cobbler:

Does it count if the food names are a result of the place the food came from, eg Eccles & Cheddar?

In reply to Cobbler: kentucky

In reply to Cobbler: There are lots of foods named after places (cheddar cheese, bakewell tart, eccles cakes etc) but can anyone think of a place which is named after a food?

In reply to Tony the Blade: PS. Got the prog today, thanks.

In reply to Cobbler: Wales... (one for the japanese there...)

In reply to Dom Whillans:

Thats the one that started it! Well done!

Most of the places mentioned just have a variety of food named after them
(cheeses, pies, cakes, whiskies etc) so don't count.

In reply to Cobbler: Thanks to this thread I'm not starving!!!

In reply to Cobbler: Isle of Dogs... I'm sure it's been done.

In reply to Cobbler:

In reply to Cobbler:

Sandwich counts though. Sandwiches were named after the Earl of Sandwich, not the place.

In reply to Cobbler:

Cury

(on the Lizard)

In reply to Cobbler:

Turkey
Grease.

In reply to jeni222uk:


The Earl of Sandwich was named after the place.

In reply to tlm:

But the food didn't become known as a sandwich because of it being made in sandwich in the way cheddar did. And you can make sandwiches wherever you like (so I'm told) unlike cheddar too.

In reply to jeni222uk:

Kos

In reply to Cobbler:
Bun (Its in the Pyrenees somewhere, and apparently there's also a Bun in Papua New Guinea and two more in Ireland)

In reply to jeni222uk:

i think you can make chedder wherever you like too. the last stuff i had was from orkney.

unlike wensleydale, which i think has got EU protected origins status

as does newcastle brown ale, i believe...

In reply to no_more_scotch_eggs:

Maybe it was stilton I was thinking of. I think that has to be made there...

In reply to Sam L:

Yep: Gingerbread Slab, Lawrencefield.

In reply to jeni222uk:

In reply to Cobbler:

Chelsea buns

Pieville, California.

In reply to Cobbler: Bath Buns, Scotch Eggs,

In reply to Cobbler: Frankurter, Hamburger, Neapolitan ice cream

In reply to Al Evans:

Stilton is a cheese of England. It is produced in two varieties: the well-known blue and the lesser-known white. Both have been granted the status of a protected designation of origin by the European Commission. Only cheese produced in the three counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire – and made according to a strict code – may be called "Stilton".

Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stilton_%28cheese%29

And it's not called Stilton because it was made there, but because it was first marketed through an inn in the village in the the 18th century. The Wikipedia article has a more detailed explanation, and also points out: Ironically, Stilton cheese cannot legally be made in the village that gave the cheese its name...Stilton village is now in Cambridgeshire

In reply to Martin W:

So stilton would be a good answer to the OP then?

In reply to Al Evans:

Meringue was named after the town of Meiringen (sp) in the Bernese Oberland, near the Reichenbach Falls.

In reply to leewam121:

From drivel there sometimes comes sense.
The name Ramsbottom actually comes from "valley of the Wild Garlic" the Wild Garlic being Ramson so there you go a place actually named after a type of food.

Davie

In reply to jeni222uk:

No, because although the cheese wasn't made in Stilton, it is still named after Stilton, and that means (according to the rules as clarified) that it doesn't count.

In reply to Cobbler:

Halifax

In reply to Martin W:

Don't underline stuff at me. If you read it again you'll find that stilton (the cheese) wasn't named after stilton (the place) but after a pub so it does count.
