Band Names

I liked the names of the fishing flies he mentioned.

And, hey, in regard to this thread, does a dish called "Tri-Color Slaw" (shredded cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots, with a vinaigrette) count as incorporating both color and food?

Hey if you were wearing it and eating it it counts.

Puce Fish Cakes

Puce Fish Cakes

Would that be a rose-hued puce or a green-hued puce?    I realized that, although I know the term, I wasn't exactly sure what shade it represents. So I did a search and found, among other things, this appealing quote:

Puce is actually named for a different fluid entirely: it comes to us from the French couleur puce, meaning "flea-colored," probably for the dried-blood color of squished fleas.

Hey if you were wearing it and eating it it counts.

Well, in that case the band name would be Gray Tri-Color Slaw.   

Coquelicot Caviar

I read coquelicot and my mind went immediately to wine, not color. Hm.

Actually, Squished Fleas wouldn't be a bad name for a band.    But I digress.

I didn't know there was a green puce. Or that the colour has anything to do with squished fleas.

A band called the Squished Fleas sounds like some grumpy parody of the Beatles at the height of beatlemania.
