I'm sure when I was in junior and high school, many of the dishes served up in the rather dire school canteen has pseudonyms. These weren't designed to make the food more appealing. It would have taken a lot more than a bit of wordplay to make these in any way appealing. 

 

These names were bestowed by the pupils and were intended to make things even worse.

 

The only one I can recall (it was in the middle of the last century!) is the currant cake which was served with custard once a week.

 

Universally known as 'fly cemetery'.
