Most fancifully named dishes

...But my favourite was a dish prominently advertised at a restaurant in Hanoi as: "Fish That Has Found Immortality in the Oven". It was a carp of sorts that was flash fried from the gills back only and then served immediately so that the gills continued to "breathe" throughout the meal while the meat was sliced off the back of the fish. Very popular in Hanoi!

It's a Spanish dish of black beans over rice. <a href="http://www.recipelink.com/mf/31/28212">Here's a version</a>.

Another fanciful food name I like is the Chinese Dog Biting Pig. A plain steamed white bun made from wheat flour (man t'ou) is split along one side and filled with sliced red-braised pork belly and sliced pickled mustard greens, sometimes with a garnish of chopped peanuts and/or chopped coriander.
