bisque (countable and uncountable; plural bisques)

1. A thick creamy soup made from fish, shellfish, meat or vegetables. (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bisque)

This recipe for "Chilled Strawberry Bisque" is in fact - yes, you guessed it - a strawberry smoothie. Bisques traditionally involve seafood, though vegetable bisques are also popular. But simply labeling as "bisque"any food item that has been blended into a soupy consistency is quite misleading.

Peach Pie Cream Cheese Enchiladas

enchilada (pronounced/ˌɛntʃɨˈlɑːdə/)
"An enchilada is a corn tortilla rolled around a filling and covered with a chili pepper sauce. Enchiladas can be filled with a variety of ingredients, including meat, cheese, beans, potatoes, vegetables, seafood or combinations." (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enchilada)
"From the Spanish 'enchilar' for 'season with chili.'" (www.nathanbierma.com/archive/169)

This recipe is a great example of inappropriately named food. It is inaccurate to label anything rolled into a tortilla an "enchilada." This dessert, which looks inspired by crepes, may in fact be quite delicious, but it is not an enchilada by any means.

Polenta Lasagna

la·sa·gna also la·sa·gne  (lƏ-zän'yƏ)n.

1. Pasta in flat, very wide strips.

2. A dish made by baking such pasta with layers of sauce and fillings such as cheese or meat.

 I first noticed this recipe for "Polenta Lasagna" because I thought it looked interesting. Part way through, it struck me: by definition, this cannot be lasagna. For something to be lasagna requires that it have lasagna noodles. Otherwise, frito boats could be "Frito Lasagna," tuna casserole becomes "Tuna Lasagna," and so on.
