Not the most euphonious or well chosen of names, IMHO :-) Foodapest sounds


Well, even to me, whose native tongue is italian and not english, sounds
like food-a-pest :-) unattractive ... "peste" is still used in
italian, both to indicate a disease ("peste suina" is a plague of pigs),
or an annoying person, typically a child ("piccola peste").


Call it Foodapesto then! Pesto surely conjures up good thoughts!
