Capellini (angel hair pasta in US) is Italian for "little hair" and there is another kind of pasta called orechetti (I think the spelling is all off there) which means "little ears". There are probably other body part pastas that I can't recall now. Also, I think "ladyfingers" is a direct translation from the French, but I can't remember the French for it. I'll keep thinking (and getting hungrier and hungrier)...
