	On Dawnie's dinner thread, I said I was having Frog in a ditch for my tea, and Dawnie didn't know what it was..My family call Toad in the hole, Frog in a ditch, and it made me wonder what funny names do people give to meals or food instead of the proper name. Here's another one, that's obvious Frog's spawn. Come on and tell us. Helen

	when the girls were younger they were fussy eaters and would only have sausages, fish fingers or chicken, one day I told them they were having Pink potatoes and they were intrigued and ever since when we have corned beef hash, it's called pink potatoes.
