A friend’s cousin asked what beefcake was and then came to the understandable conclusion that it must be a cannibal delicacy.
Some foods do have misleading names:
E.G.: toad in the hole contains
No toads. And hot dogs, (one would hope,)
Contain no dog. It’s just a joke.
And it’s the same with beefcake: there’s
No beef at all. But no one cares.
You could eat beef, but then, who would,
When humans taste so very good?
