Default What bizarre names do you have for 'normal' foods

As our oldest son got older he took a liking to steak. One day as we were
sitting down to the family dinner table he said "wait, we don't have Al's
sauce." Took a few seconds but we figured out he was missing the A-1 sauce.
Check out the bottle - it does look like it says Al's.
