I always thought, Squaquarone, a soft cheese from Emilia Romagna in Italy, has a very funny name.

Not as funny, but 1st prize for honesty is Puzzone di Moena, from Trentino, meaning simply "stinky" from Moena. At least you know exactly what to expect.

Il Forno: eating, drinking, baking... mostly side effect free. Italian food from an Italian kitchen.

Not really funny, but I get a kick out of Morbier... Not sure what it actually means, but I think 'death in a romantic language' every time I hear it.

He don't mix meat and dairy,

He don't eat humble pie,

So sing a miserere

And hang the bastard high!

- Richard Wilbur and John LaTouche from Candide
