There’s a dish in Japan called 親子丼（おやこどん） which is a chicken + eggs rice bowl. 親子（おやこ） can be translated as parent and child, which was a bit disturbing the first time I knew about it.

This week, I didn’t have chicken to prepare it so I searched for alternatives and found two:

• 他人丼（たにんどん）which replaces chicken with pork and means strangers haha. Also called 継子丼（ママコどん） meaning stepmom bowl.
• 開花丼（かいかどん）which is the beef version. Meaning “blooming” bowl.

Do you know any other interestingly named dishes like this?
