Question about the word short, in foods (there is a point to this, I promise).
A friend wants to throw a party for the Shorty Awards (http://bit.ly/hqngTt) and I was thinking the food theme could be foods containing the word "short," like short ribs and shortcake. Can you think of any others? Short-order food? Thanks, in advance!

In Pennsylvania we have a humble little 6" sandwich called at "Shorti."

Danny Devito has his own brand of limoncello.

Shrimp! TiggyBee, that's so funny! I was going to suggest the comparatively unfunny petits fours.
One of my daughters-in-law claims to be 5"2" but no one believes her. She was eating something I made, and a son (not her husband) suddenly yelled, "Trina! Don't eat that!" so she dropped it like it was poison or something, and Andy said, "Mom put Crisco in it. It's shortening."

Oops, didn't read the question all the way through. Sorry about that first suggestion. ;o)

I almost forgot about shrimp, they're short!!

And short grain rice would qualify too, wouldn't it?

Let's not forget strawberry (or any other berry) shortcake. (That would be in the category of "short" pastries, meaning a lot of fat.) ;o)

Too funny, pierino -- thanks. And thanks everyone for the terrific ideas. Going to be a fun party!

Well, I just submitted a recipe for culottes on fire, and culottes of course are short pants...

Apparently, Shorty Tang aka 'The Sesame Noodle King' of Chinatown, was believed to have come up with the iconic New York version of that recipe...so, Shorty Tang's Sesame Noodles?

Foods that have a "short" texture (using the archaic form of the word meaning crumbly), so any kind of shortbread, or pastry with shortening.
