Drinks:  Shandy [lemonade and beer, I hate it], Sharbat or Shrub [syrup drink]
Foods:  Titmice [which are birds],  Pamperdy [from pain perdu, aka French Toast]
Wardens [pears].  If you go post-period there are a whole lot of Victorian
English puddings with names like "spotted dick" but let's not go there.

I have a weird little tradition of including "moo goo gai pan" as one of my
multiple choice answers in every SCA quiz I write.  I don't know why, just
another example of surrealism in everyday life I suppose.
