Responding to another thread I mention Tommies habit of naming Ordnance after food stuffs. So far I have;

Toffee apple / Plum pudding for 2" Trench mortar

Potato masher, stick grenade

Lemon, French Foug grenade

Flaming Onion, 37mm pom pom

Pineapple, Taube mortar

Egg, Egg grenade

Oyster, German disc grenade

Pear, French P1 grenade

There must be others,

Any additions?
