| |  Culinary name for kitten
Hello all,
I haven't been on much lately, I've been really busy with school and prepping for culinary school (in three semesters I'll be there) and haven't had the time to spare. This morning, as I stumbled into the living room on my desperate search for coffee, my stepmother exclaimed some news I am very excited to share.
In one month, I will be receiving a Manx kitten. Those of you who aren't aware, Manx cats do not have tails. Kind of like this: 
I'm starting to think of names for the kitten and would love something culinary related. Anything from culinary terms, like Julienne, to liqueurs such as Amaretto, I'm just searching for ideas. I'm not sure if it's a male or female, so I would like your ideas for both. I need some help in this, and with you guys, I know that the sky is the limit.
Thank you very much for your creative ideas, Gummy Bear

With all those claws and teeth, cuts and knives are my first choice. Even some brand name might be fun.

Oh come on. Everyone needs to have a Sabatier Tiger running amok in the house.
Or a Baron Von Wusthof. Haven't you ever seen a cat get their Henkels up?

How about Ramsey?
As a tribute to Gordon Ramsay (food connection!) It is also the name of the capital of the Isle of Man, and every citizen is known as a manxman! |

Whisk! The tail made me think of that. Or Whiskey, but the color isn't right.

how about a technical name for the tail of a fish or tail of beef filet.....that way (s)he'll have a tail name. 
It's hard to name a kitty without knowing it's personality. funny story, we adopted a cat from Soulard Farmer's Market when my sons were 6, 8 & 13 years old....so they named black kitty "Mel" after Mel Brooks....my middle son adored this cat and insisted that Mel was a male until Mel actually gave birth to part persian babies. Mel's pregnant belly was dragging the ground and he still insisted she was a he. Mel, became Melamina soon after the babies arrived. |

I had a female orange tabby once that seemed mostly manx (body shape). The kids named it Bunny because she kind of reminded them of a rabbit. Maybe something along the lines of a rabbit? |

Sushi. Back in grade 5 our class received some ducklings. One of them was named Sushi.

General Custard
Bechamel
Blueberry
Pepper
Basil
Scallopini
Butter
Haha, but seriously the best thing to do is to sit down with your favorite cookbook and underline the words that you like. I'd go for an Italian cookbook or a french sauce book.
