How about Kona, Hawaii?

A moment of digression (although not totally, since it involves another kind of "food").....

The Portuguese find the mention of Kona coffee quite discomfiting and/or hilarious because "cona" means something quite... um... specific... in Portuguese. (Amusingly, there's a town called "Coina" near Palmela, the signs for which are constantly having their "i's" spray-painted out.

An ill-timed spasm of discretion is preventing me from offering a direct translation here.
