Food naming help?
-
Hi there,
I was wondering if somebody could tell me an appropriate name for this snack that I am making? It is a crispy savory treat with a size from about the knuckle of one's index finger to the tip.
I want to call the snack "My Munchies" but I was told by somebody (not from Singapore) that "Munchies" would not be understood by most Singaporians and that I should call the snack "My Tidbits" instead. So which is better from a Singaporian perspective, "My Munchies" or "My Tidbits"? Or something different altogether? (Please ignore the "My" part of the name, for simplicity's sake.)
Thank you for your help. -
My finger food
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger_food
Finger food is food meant to be eaten directly using the hands, in contrast to food eaten with a knife and fork, chopsticks, or other utensils. In some cultures, food is almost always eaten with the hands; for example, Ethiopian cuisine is eaten by rolling various dishes up in injera bread.[2] In the South Asian subcontinent, food is traditionally always eaten with hands. Foods considered street foods are frequently, though not exclusively, finger foods.
In the Western world, finger foods are often either appetizers (hors d'oeuvres) or entree/main course items. In the Western world, examples of generally accepted finger food are miniature beef pies, sausage rolls, sausages on sticks, cheese and olives on sticks, chicken drumsticks or wings, spring rolls, miniature quiches, samosas, sandwiches, Merenda or other such based foods, such as pitas or items in buns, bhajjis, potato wedges, vol au vents, several other such small items and risotto balls (arancini). Other well-known foods that are generally eaten with the hands include pizza, hot dogs, fruit and bread.[3] Dessert items such as cookies, pastries, ice cream in cones, or ice pops are often eaten with the hands but are not, in common parlance, considered finger foods. In East Asia, foods like pancakes or flatbreads (bing 饼) and street foods such as kebabs (chuan 串) are often eaten with the hands.

> u paying royalties?
Sure, if you don't mind being paid in food. :)
@Rednano So you are implying that munchies and tidbits are both no good? :(

can at least show picture?
or u can just named that thing "imagination"

In my native language the name of the food is "My Snack" or something. I liked "Munchies" because both My and Munchies start with M and "My Munchies" has a nice ring to it. But I was told by a friend who lives in Singapore that "Munchies" won't work. I was wondering if this was in fact true, and if so if there was a better word that would work? The food is fried and it looks kind of like bread (but no crust).
