While food double entendres for the male member exist in Latin American Spanish, they are unimaginative (chorizo, salsicha, gallo, etc.), Meanwhile, we've created a lexicon for words that are a foodstuff in one country but mean "cunt"--not just "vagina," not just "yoni," but the crassest, basest word to describe what gals possess--in another.
1. Panocha

Its food version: a delicious New Mexico pudding (shown above) made from sprouted wheat and panocha, the name for unrefined brown sugar in most of Latin America.
Where it's used as a vulgarity: Mexico.
2. Concha

Its food version: the Mexican pan dulce being held by the tongs in the photo.
Where it's used as a vaginal vulgarity: most of Latin America, not so much for the sweetness of the bread but because concha also means "shell," and . . . yeah.
3. Papaya
Its food version: The fleshy fruit loved around the world.
Where it's used as a vaginal vulgarity: Cuba.

Its food version: A corn dough disc most popular in Colombia and Venezuela.
Where it's used as a vaginal vulgarity: Colombia, but not Venezuela. They're weird--we Mexicans don't call panochas tortillas. I'm not even going to TRY to figure this one out. The others above make some sense, at least.
