Southern California restaurant holds contest to rename 'squaw' bread after complaint (rename it)

Press Democrat ^ | 14 July 2015

The words for 'woman' in the various Algonquian languages derive from Proto-Algonquian *[eθkweːwa]. In the daughter languages, the first consonant sound has variously changed to /s/ (Narragansett squaw, Cree iskwēw), /x/ (Lenape xkwē < əxkwew), or been lost (Shawnee ekwēwa, Ojibwe ikwe). The pronunciation squaw or skwa is found in the northerly Eastern Algonquian languages in New England and Quebec.

Really at this point why have they not gone after redskin potatoes?

Its not like the reason they had to rename Brazil nuts... “Brazil nuts”...

Colonists? French Trappers??

Were talking about bread here....Gezzz

[Boogieman]

I like this line from the movie “The Rundown”. An American in Brazil comments on all the “brazil nut” trees in someone’s yard, and the girl tells him “Down here, we just call them ‘nuts’”.

... TS-PCP Bread....

Riverside County is close enough to San Bernardino County, so I suggest this.

New England/Boston Brown Bread is already a known thing, and it is molasses bread (darn good, too, especially with hot dogs and baked beans, with a dap of butter on the bread, still warm.)

I suggest Mojave Bread. Why? The San Bernardino desert area was home to the Mojave peoples, one of the many Pima family tribes.

So call it Indian Maid Bread which sounds nicer, at least till someone gets upset at the Indian part.

Fauxcahontas bread...

[T-Bone Texan]

My family always called it “drunk indian laying in the gutter” bread.
