ZOS Writers: The New Recipe Names

I appreciate the work it took to revamp provisioning and that because of changes to the base ingredients, new names were needed for many meals. However, might I suggest some of them could use more setting/lore/fantasy rpg appropriate names?
US Southern Cooking?
Chicken And Biscuits
Crispy Cheddar Chicken
Fried Green Tomatoes
Apple Cobbler Supreme
Umm, why?
Other Traditional Regional/Ethnic Dishes from Earth?
Borscht
Tomato Borscht
Shepherd's Pie
There are examples where these kinds of recipe names in pre and post 1.6 were thoughtfully converted to more Tamrielic sounding counterparts*. Why not these recipes as well?
North American Fast Food?
Port Hunding Cheese Fries
Necrom Beetle-Cheese Poutine
Ultimate Riverhold Beef Tacos
So, cheese fries, gravy fries, and Taco Bell in Tam-ri-el?
Boring and/or Contemporary
Green Salad
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Twice-Baked Potatoes
These could work if something Tamielic were tossed into the names, like what was attempted for the fast food examples above.
Nice Shout Out to the Marx Bros.
Duck Soup
Even if this was named after someone's favorite dish at their local Vietnamese restaurant, it does recall a classic film. It isn't really inconsistent with lore, just a little plain sounding. But the movie reference makes up for that.
(*In other words, it would still be called Borscht but perhaps with Tamrielic groups, ingredients, or locations added into the name.)

✭✭✭✭I also think its annoying to find so many kwama eggs in the Daggerfall covenant.Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.***Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis1 -
