Oyakodon and its sibling dishes

There's a dish in Japan called 親子丼(おやこどん) which is a chicken + eggs rice bowl. 親子(おやこ) can be translated as parent and child, which was a bit disturbing the first time I knew about it.

This week, I didn't have chicken to prepare it so I searched for alternatives and found two:

  • 他人丼(たにんどん)which replaces chicken with pork and means strangers haha. Also called 継子丼(ママコどん) meaning stepmom bowl.
  • 開花丼(かいかどん)which is the beef version. Meaning "blooming" bowl.

Do you know any other interestingly named dishes like this?
