There's a dish in Japan called 親子丼（おやこどん） which is a chicken + eggs rice bowl. 親子（おやこ） can be translated as parent and child, which was a bit disturbing the first time I knew about it.
This week, I didn't have chicken to prepare it so I searched for alternatives and found two:
- 他人丼（たにんどん）which replaces chicken with pork and means strangers haha. Also called 継子丼（ママコどん） meaning stepmom bowl.
- 開花丼（かいかどん）which is the beef version. Meaning "blooming" bowl.
Do you know any other interestingly named dishes like this?

The advanced ones are good for learning, even if you don't understand much, as you get used to the pace and flow of the language
