Astro chow: Tried all the different cuisines, have you? How about Klingon? Boqrat Chej Qevlu'pu'bogh, stewed Bokrat liver, is a classic dish. But how do you prepare it? For that you need K'Tesh's Klingon Recipe Pages, and its obsessively thorough guide to the hundreds of food items mentioned in all the Star Trek incarnations. This includes the Ferengi breakfast staple Puree of Beetle. Yum! Eat up at www.geocities.com/ktesh_kag/klingon_food.htm.

Rude food: Imagine a perfectly nice can of tuna, labelled Grated Fanny. Or a lager beer from Greece with the unlikely moniker Vergina. Or, for that matter, potato chips from Brazil called Prick, or oddly phallic-shaped chocolates from Germany called Mini-Dickmanns. They're all real, and just a few of the hilariously-named foreign food products created by people who don't speak English and don't know why we're laughing at them. Pick up some Jussipussi-brand snack cakes from Finland or Faggottino cream puffs from Italy at www.dazbert.co.uk/sites/rudefood/.
