4 places named after food

There may be many places that have foods named after them (like many of the places where cheese originated), but what about the other way round? Many people are still patiently waiting to see Fillet-O-FishTown but there are a few places out there that have gone ahead and made their title honour some delicious morsel already – check out these places named after food.

Burnt Corn was near the site of the Battle of Burnt Corn around two hundred years ago and has since then kept some rather modest roots with only a few hundred residents. Still, if you’re ever passing through southern Mississippi, why not go see their post office?

A small city founded in the 1950s upon the site of a sugar plantation. Nowadays, the city must have reduced its sugar intake – it has consistently held the title of “FittestCity in Texas” for the last few years. Pretty impressive considering the place’s sweet roots.

Hot Coffee is so small, it’s really more of a scattering of buildings than a town. Hopefully when you’re passing through, there’ll be enough people there that you can still get a cup of… hot coffee.

This iconic Rio mountain was given its name when Portuguese traders in the 16^th century noted the summit’s similarity to the large blocks of sugar they were transporting. How sweet.
