It’s actually happened.

To help describe the different particle configurations as you go into deeper and deeper layers of neutron stars - the way intense gravity plus pressure clumps the particles together - physicists have started referring to them as Gnocchi, Spaghetti and Lasagna.

Gnocchi are lumps of neutrons bunched together.
Spaghetti are strands of these Gnocchi.
Lasagna are sheets of these Spaghetti.
