cryptocuisine
noun
Food you do not know how to eat.
Yvonne had never been in a Japanese restaurant before, and she ordered something whose name she couldn’t pronounce. It came on three separate dishes with multiple sauces on the side. Never one to shy from cryptocuisine, she started experimenting with different combinations to see what tasted good, though a small voice in the back of her head tried to convince her the staff were appalled at her incorrect dining methods.
