When I was a kid, I played a game called *Keen Dreams* — a game in the Commander Keen series that Id Software did not publish through Apogee, so it didn't get an official number. Keen gets sent to bed because he refused to eat his vegetables, and winds up in a nightmare facing all kinds of vegetable-themed enemies. The "BROCOLASH" is clearly a head-banging broccoli, the "TOMATOOTH" is just a tomato with teeth, etc. However, there's one enemy I still don't recognise, FRENCHY.

I was going to guess "candy corn", but the colours are wrong and that's not really a vegetable. It might be "French Fry", but what's with the green bit? And all the other vegetables are fresh/unprocessed. And I think it lobs grenades or something? MELON LIPS spits melon seeds, which is very melon-themed; I don't know why a French Fry would lob grenades.
