21 foods renamed because their current names simply aren’t good enough

Ciara Knight

Food namers are lazy. There, I’ve said it.

I don’t give a h*ck about the implications of such a controversial statement. It needed to be said. Food namers have dropped the ball on more than one occasion, and that needs to be acknowledged.

Rather than sit idly by while we continue to use substandard words for various food items, I’ve decided to take a proactive approach and rename these d*mn things myself.

The following renamed foods have been submitted to the Foodnaming Union Control Koalition and are pending approval.

A tomato will now be called…

 

 

 

Gherkins will now be known as….

 

Chilis will henceforth be called…
