| Abstract: | Food-related medical terms are frequently used in the field of pediatrics for the definition, recognition and diagnosis of disease. Almost 40 food-related medical eponyms used in Pediatrics have been ‘cherry picked’ and described by the authors. Two of these terms have been illustrated. Culinary medical analogies allow healthcare providers to easily interpret the variety of sensations experienced during medical decision-making, providing a better taste for interpreting pathology discovered on physical exam. Despite some misgivings, food-related medical terms make medical education more appetizing and allow for rapid diagnosis of classic presentations. |
