I always thought that someone who played the pickle was a
"picklist". Someone mentioned the ocarina, also called the sweet
potato, so a player of that instrument would be a "sweet potatist",
or maybe a "sweet potater." Any other good names for players of
foodstuffs?
Well, when I was in junior high, a new donut shop opened in town that
made them of potatos, and called them "Spudnuts." So of course when
I started an ocarina trio using newly available and unbreakable
plastic ocarinas, we called ourselves the Spudnuts. (Maybe you had
to be there! Hey, it was junior high!!!)
