Brussels sprout

Brussels sprouts—the variety of cabbage with a stout stem and a budlike head of tightly folded leaves—are named after the city of Brussels. The modern version of the plant was originally grown primarily in the area of Northern Europe now known as Belgium, of which Brussels is the capital. In the name of the cabbage, Brussels is usually capitalized like the name of the city, though some publications don’t capitalize it.

The Wikipedia page doesn't even say "Brussel sprout" is an error. It avoids the term entirely.

    I term I use is Van Damme Sprouts after my adoptive parent’s favourite actor, the muscles from Brussels. Extremely niche and I get weird looks. They are delish especially with some balsamic.
