I got started with this on another thread but now I'm curious. What clubs out there have food-based nicknames? I have a short list below off the top of my head, but I know there must be many others.

Mallorca - Ensaimada Mecanica
Albacete - Queso Mecanica
Real Madrid - Merengues
Lyon - Les Quenelles

Reading used to be "The Biscuitmen" until the large biscuit factory shut in the 1970s.
