'Dog food' - my mom's Mexican Lasagna

'Beef barf' - what I called Beef Stroganoff as a kid (I didn't like it)

'Rabbit' - what we called my mom's Welsh Rarebit. Little did I know we had the etymology right.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

Pope's nose = turkey or chicken tail

stewage = any type of stew

In general though, your mom was a good cook?

She was, quite good actually. I just didn't appreciate it at age 10.

Meat soup was a concoction of ground beef sautéed with onions and a smidge of water and tossed over a mashed potato.
My mom called that Hamburger Gravy, marko.
Did you just call kluurs marko? :P

Mik's post of the "corn dealies" reminded me of this tool that was a favorite of my grandmother, because she had false teeth.

CORN SCORER

It slits the kernels of the sweet corn on the cob so the insides of the kernets squirt out when you bite the ear while the hulls generally remain attached to the cob. It saves getting the hulls lodged underneath the false teeth.

The thing that my grandmother most disliked about false teeth was how berry seeds would lodge under them. I think strawberries were tolerable because the seeds were pretty small, but raspberries were a real problem.

We call it the parson's nose here in England
