The dish named after Humbert Humbert was done so by a chef whose name has been lost to history working in an Istanbul restaurant who playfully renamed the traditional meatball dish kadin budu kofte after Humbert.  (The joke of course is that "kadin budu kofte" translates as "Young womens' thighs")

Fascinating! Thanks very much.
