This is the only dish I can think of whose name is a complete sentence. I can think of foods whose names are descriptive phrases (e.g., pig-in-a-blanket), but no others with a subject and a verb.
This word isn't in many dictionaries, but it is used by primatologists to mean the row of specialised teeth that pottos and other prosimians use to groom themselves (and each other).
