Got any physics-themed dish ideas for a cookoff?

[quasar_4]

Hi all,

my department's having a cookoff and I am wondering if anyone has any cute names for a dish that are really physics-related. So far we have Tesla coiled marshmallows and thomson cookies... any ideas out there? It can be any type of dish, I just need a humorous physics name to match.

Josephson sandwiches?
But make sure it is only a tri-layer structure, otherwise it gets complicated

If you could make one of these sandwiches, I'd be impressed:

haha, I am loving it. I also am considering bosonic brownies, quarkies (cookies) and n-body salad. Hehe, if only this is how homework usually was...

Atomic plum pudding (now with 20% more neutrons!)

Calabi-Yau Pretzels

Newton Apples

Kepler Onion Rings

Tokamak Donuts (with hot cream filling of course, mmmmm)
If you forgot to bring a dish, just tell your coworkers you made a Bose-Einstein Condensate but it destructively interfered with itself :(

Lamb shift-kabobs
Planck steak
scattered Raman noodles
Fig Newtons
and for after the eats, a physics with a strange flavor to settle your GUT.

Fig Newtons

Make sure they are Sig Fig Newtons!

And "Neutrinos" always sounded like a tiny after-dinner mint to me. (Or a breakfast cereal). They would be small, but you would need a hell of a lot of them. I mean barrels full of them.

make sure it's thick as p-brane soup

an easy one for the lazy party-goer: string theory cheese.

These ideas are hilarious! What a fun idea for a party/gathering!

Carnot cake.

That reminds me of way back when I was a kid, just learning to read. We had the school lunch menu posted in the kitchen, so we'd know which days to pack a lunch and which days we wanted to buy lunch. My mom never seemed very inclined to answer me when I would ask what the "car rots" were on the menu. I think my mom must have believe in experiential learning or some such, that I had to figure it out on my own by eventually realizing that it was carrots that were served everytime that word appeared on the menu. Maybe she didn't think I was seriously asking, since I really disliked cooked carrots as a kid, so calling them car rots might have been perfectly expected of me.

Pfft, you think cooked carrots were bad? Try tater tot casserole with tuna in it!

Eeew! The other kids thought I was weird enough for not liking tater tots. I can't imagine using them to make a casserole with tuna!

I hate tater tots, always did. I love potatoes normally, but for some reason (likely cheap oil and other ingredients) tater tots have always seemed just gross to me. But yeah, it was some nasty stuff.

Don't forget to serve everything on Caven dishes.

Entropy popcorn

Finally... someone identifies the true reason that whenever I use my air-popper, there ends up being popcorn all over the kitchen! And I always thought it must be Bernoullian in source, concerning the aerodynamics of the low and the shape/position of the bowl!

I can finally just give up (and let my husband deal with it).

Ooh, yet another support group I can form at PF. Tater tot haters group. I don't think it helped that when I was in school, there were no fried foods. Everything was baked in an oven. French fries, hamburgers, chicken nuggets, etc., all baked. If they were going to have something against fried foods, why serve meals that are supposed to be fried? Roasted chicken and potatoes would have been just fine. Even the fake, instant mashed potatoes were better than french fries baked in an oven. But, I don't think tater tots are food. I think they're the foam pellets that go in those toy guns...the ones you pump with air to pop out the pellet.

What about a superfluid Heisenberg one?

I think I would bake peanut butter cup cookies and call it a box of Schrodinger's cookies. They could be cookies, they could be candies.
