linking food, words, and my interest in Chicago history:
The name "Chicago" is the local indian word for a plant variously translated as "wild onion" or "wild garlic", the latter being (I believe) more precise.
(So technically we are not "The Windy City", but rather either "The City of Bad Breath" or "The Stinky City".)
