Food and wordplay

I need tidbits about food involving wordplay e.g: rhyming recipes and anagram menus.
Also: semolina 'is no meal'. Do you know any more?
Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog!

Well OK not really a recipe per se, but I always thought it was a cool palindrome.

In one episode of The Next Iron Chef, the contestants were introduced to various molecular gastronomy techniques, and challenged to use some of them in dishes. One was a substance which stabilized a foam, giving it the consistency of shaving cream.
Chris Cosentino used this to make a razor clam with shaving cream dish, which I thought a clever culinary pun.

Evil olive.
I saw desserts; I'd no lemons, alas no melon. Distressed was I.
Traditional Italian Food = radiation, toil, fat and oil!
Designer food = refined goods
Real Fast Food = roasted offal
something from the Yreka Bakery
