Norway has some of the allegedly most unhinged word constructions via "cake". It had the modern meaning of a baked sweet, but also any sorta roundish cooked thing that is not sweet, and the old meaning of "any hard lumped mass".
So we have, in order of descending sanity:
- Bløtkake - soft cake, sponge cake
- Småkake - small cake, cookie
- Kjøttkake - meat cake, ground meat patties
- Fiskekake - fish cake, ground fish meat patties
- Oljekake - oil cake, lump of mass left after pressing oil out of linseeds
- Blodkake - blood cake, lump of dried blood
- Morkake - mother cake, placenta
- Kukake - cow cake, cow poop
