Not at all! Part of the fun of Wordnik is seeing how similar lists develop in different ways. Also, it's a time-honored tradition to scan other lists for inspiration, or just to pillage them directly.

I like to make lists for the mental exercise... so I cant scan the other lists, because that would be cheating!

So I'll save it for when I'm feeling naughty. :D

Pray, don't eat the breadwinner, at least in the present economy.

Another thought, Liberty: your list title allows broader interpretation that mine. There are lots of things that are edible that one might hesitate to eat, considering literal or figurative meanings (rock candy, green M&Ms).

The fruit of the sausage tree - although not palatable for humans, the fruits are readily consumed by hippos, baboons, and giraffes.

Then there's breadwinner, breadboard, breadbox, and sowbread.

I've been trying not to use words that only have the name of a food because they're used in relation to that food, like kitchenware & utensils etc. But I like getting suggestions!
