Deceptive dishes
What's in a name? Sometimes, not all that much. Or at least, when it comes to certain foods, not a lot you can trust. Bombay duck doesn't contain a scrap of duck, for example. And grasshopper pie isn't quite as adventurous as it sounds. Here, we’ve rounded up the most deceptively named foods around – how many can you identify from their title alone?
Click or scroll through our gallery to discover the most confusingly named foods in the world, as we count down to reveal the most misleading moniker of all.
We've based our ranking on the surprising nature of each food and on the opinions of our well-travelled (and well-fed) team. The list is unavoidably subjective.
