Another thread leads me to wonder, Which foods can we think of that whose names seem to have evolved from one name to another, similar-sounding one in other cultures?
The specific food that brought me here is "Solomon Gundy," a spiced, smoked herring mash, which might be related to "Salmagundi," a composed salad including chopped meats and (sometimes pickled) vegetables.
But off the top of my head, there's also pelau - perloo - pilau - pilaf. All vaguely related in ingredients, yet totally different in their respective cultures.
Can anyone else come up with others?
