UNUSUAL FOOD NAMES (continued): • Often mispronounced as “kwin-o-ah,” the correct way of saying quinoa is “keen-wah.” It’s the seed from a broad-leafed plant related to beets and spinach.

Don’t confuse antipasto with pesto, which is a green sauce prepared from fresh basil, olive oil, garlic, pine nuts, and parmesan cheese. • What do you get when you order filet mignon? The name translates from the French, with filet meaning “thick slice” and mignon translating “dainty.” It’s a piece of beef coming from the small end of the tenderloin, found on the back rib cage of the animal. Because this area is not weight-bearing, the tissue is not toughened by exercise, giving the filet its tenderness.
