Nun’s Farts, (or Whore’s Farts, depending, I guess, on how you’re feeling about women that day,) is just one of the more dodgy recipe names we’ve come across.

Nun’s Farts is actually a delicious French treat: lightly fried choux pastry, dipped in cinnamon sugar. But what this has to do with with a nun’s derrière, I wouldn’t like to say.

Unusual recipe names appear across all cuisines and continents. Some are funny, some are rude, while others border on the un-PC (and you might say even funnier.)

Take Spotted Dick, for example – if you come from anywhere else but Britain, the word dick has got nothing whatsoever to do with Enid Blyton or lashings of lemonade and seems a most unfortunate name for a pudding.

Then there’s the Japanese Oyako Don Buri – a chicken and egg recipe which directly translates as mother and child. Good to be reminded you’re eating not one but two generations when you’re about to tuck in!

Salon’s Francis Lam, pulled together a slide show of some of the more dodgy ones.

And if rude food names really is your thing, there’s plenty of others out there that will have you sniggering. From a manufactured hot chutney named “Arson Fire”, to the delicious sounding Fart Bar. (I’m not kidding!)
