Food Names for Dogs

I like when dogs are named after food. Here is a list of my faves, listed loosely by food type (Say these with a last name for greatest effect):

1) Mexican: Taquito, Fajita, Burrito, Chimichunga (Chimi for short)

2) Southern: Gumbo, Cornbread, Biscuit (make sure you call their actual biscuits "treats" or they may be confused), Deep-fry

3) Jewish: Challah (pronounced Holla!), Pickle, Knish, Latke, Schmaltz (Schmaltz Schwartz would be sweet)

4) Asian: Dumpling, Drunken Chicken, General Tso, Sparerib, Wonton

5) Caribbean: Yuca, Pepperpot, Jerk (good one for the misbehaving dog)

6) Italian: Calzone, Ravioli, Zuppa di Pesce (If Joe Pesci has a dog and this is not its name, I'm calling the ASPCA)

7) French: Quiche, Bouillabaisse, Truffles, Biscotti (again, call doggie dessert "treats" or you'll have a dog that flips out every time you say its name)

8) English/Scottish/Irish: Mushy Pea, Banger (best for an unaltered male), Hot Toddy, Mutton, Blaa

9) Middle Eastern: Pita, Feta, Ouzo, Gyro

10) Chocolate: Whopper, Goober, Willy Wonka, Whatchamacallit

11) Candy: Twizzler, Chuckles, Chiclet, Abba-Zaba (You may have a chance to use a Half-Baked quote! Watching it the first 30 times you smoked finally paid off--hope your lungs are doing OK)

12) Descriptive food words: Chewy, Chunky, Fizzy

Shit. I just spent an inordinate amount of time making that list instead of doing things on my to-do list. I guess I can "clean closet" and "get in touch with a friend of a friend of a friend of someone who works at NBC and has access to Tina Fey's email address" another day.
