Non food things that make you hungry due to their verbal similarity to foods

Whenever anyone mentions porcupines I get a major hankering for a nice pork pie.
Any reference to the Who's 'Quadrophenia' makes my mouth water at the thought of a nice packet of Quadratini (little wafer biscuit things)
I can't think of any more but I still reckon this has legs as a thread

The term "flakey" always makes want to eat a Cadbury's Flake in an overfilled bath.

The Mollusk

At a pizza place

"How do we feel about getting a starter?"

do we

DOUGH BALLS


The marsh mallow (plant) sounds a little bit like marshmallow (but it doesn't make me hungry because I don't like marshmallow).

Been doing some functional programming and now always want a curry, cheers.

"Salary". Sounds like "salad" and "celery" mixed. See also "garnishing" a salary.

"Relish" (v.), you know, "to relish an opportunity". Mmm, relish.

always want a club orange after drinking a cup of earl grey, esp if I've put milk in it. Very milky and orangey and bitter

Too many to mention, but both of the above, definitely. Also "customer" is custard-y, Friday induces cravings for a fry-up... nothing very intellectual here.

Ha. When I was learning Python, in keeping with my cryptic crossword-worthy levels of word association I thought about pies a lot. Probably more than the actual language itself, which I've failed to retain anything of.

Old man used to work for pYe telecom so obviously he drove a PIE VAN.

Oh that jogs my memory, I have to deal with Marshmallow fairly regularly.

Anything Swiss I think of a Swiss roll. Whenever the baddies in films talk about Swiss bank accounts I think of a vault full of Swiss rolls.

Salary/celery, definitely. But it's not just celery by itself, it's the celery in those Marks and Spencer cheese and celery sandwiches. The whole lot.

The word quarter in any context makes me think of a quarter pounder burger with cheese and chips. Mmmmm, hung, drawn and quartered.

Part of my job is to assign camera equipment to film shoots and there's a camera called a Theta which just makes me think of someone with a speech impediment asking for feta cheese. This is why I'm getting quite fat. Because I'm eating all the cameras. 

The Mollusk

Door wedges or the type of shoe also called wedges, makes me think of a big triangular wedge of cheese.

Also did anyone else grow up with people calling particularly hench sandwiches "doorstops"? Again same association for me because of that. Thick sliced crusty bloomer loaf, great hunks of cheese and ham, vegetables thrown in with reckless abandon. Barely get your gob around it let alone rip apart the leathery crust.

I want a sandwich.

Doorstop makes me think of those overly-bready sandwiches that are extremely unpleasant to eat and cut all that middle corner bit of yer lips up where the top and bottom part meet. The sort you'd pay a stupid amount for from EAT. and the like about fifteen years ago. Chewing on a huge hunk of crust for about ten minutes and getting a headache.

Want to top myself now I've been reminded of those. Thanks.

Snickers bars changed their name from Marathon as long ago as 1990 and yet the London Marathon always makes me want a Snickers.

Of course marshmallows (gelatinous sugar based semi-edible pseudotreat) were originally made from marsh mallows (plant)

The painter Francis Bacon always makes me think of delicious Bacon.

Richard Bacon, however always makes me want to blow my nose...dunno why.

For Ian Austin, it's always the words "hot dogs" gets him savilating.

There's a place called Swiss Cottage, makes me think of cottage cheese.

Near it, Chalk Farm, which by its very definition puts me in mind of the very opposite of food, especially cottage cheese or any cheese.

Buelligan

That's odd.  I always look at cottage cheese and think, that looks like smashed up chalk from somewhere like your famous white cliffs, with a bit of water stirred in and then taste it.  And it is exactly like that.

Chalk Farm seems like the ideal farm on which to grow Swiss Cottage palate violence.

My friend once called a Chicken Kiev a Chicken Gdansk, so now I think of chicken (which I don't eat) whenever I hear talk of the Polish port city of Gdansk (which is not that often).
