Baked

Mmmmm, Baked Alaska!

(Nome Alaska)

The only thing I know about Nome is that one of the theories of how it got its name was a misreading by a British cartographer. A British officer had apparently written "? Name" on a map because he didn't know the name of the place. The mapmaker thought it said "C. Nome", short for "Cape Nome", and put that on his chart. The city took its name from the cape. As I said, this is just one theory, but it's my favorite :).
