Thanks, but I don't see a repeated word in anything listed above. My
point is that people are saying "mushroom mushrooms" when they say
champignon mushrooms and "shrimp shrimp" when they say shrimp scampi.

I'm debating whether or not "pizza pie" is redundant or not and think
it all depends on which definition of pizza is used. Is it a pie or
is it a flat bread?
