Food sense. I was trying to find an origin for this meaning of this word, and I couldn't even find this meaning for this word anywhere. — E talk 19:58, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
- This is a difficult one to cite, due to a band called Pork Tornado, and a few newsgroup users with the name. I've added two cites so far, and will try and find another one or two to bulk it up a bit. The term is actually quite common in Ireland, although I think it is a recent introduction there (last 10 - 15 years).--Dmol (talk) 21:10, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
- A follow-up question would be, then, if it should be entered as a phrase ('pork tornado'), and not a single word, since that seems to be the way you've been finding it. — E talk 21:20, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
- I searched for beef tornado and found some errors for tournedos. Could it be an error for that somehow? Equinox ◑ 21:24, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

- Is it from Italian or some other romance language? tornar, etc. How is it pronounced? DTLHS (talk) 21:17, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
- I'm tempted to change it to being a misspelling of tournedo, and then leave it at that. It is common. In that case, I would argue against adding pork tornado, or beef tornado, as they would be sum-of-parts. The original entry was mine, is it ok for me to just change it, or should I wait for some agreement. --Dmol (talk) 23:16, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
- I noticed it being a misspelling for tournedos in my brief Google searches, but the tornado and the tournedos are two distinctly different foods, so I dunno. Maybe there's two things here: one sense of tornado a term in its own right, for a certain preparation of pork, and one a misspelling for tournedos, influenced by the previous? Who knows. Dmol, you seem to have the firsthand knowledge here, so whatever you think best, I'd say go for it. — E talk 23:58, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

- You can get these at Cumberland Farms in the USA. I don't think it has anything to do with Tournedos and I don't think it has to specifically be made of pork. See http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G2OrSefHCLM/TyKhleTOeyI/AAAAAAAAE4k/9kLgcDl8Oxw/s320/photo.JPG We're probably talking about two different foods though, so there's the "tournedo" sense and the "really tight tortilla wrap" sense.

- Failed, as only one of its citations is durable. — Ungoliant (falai) 22:24, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
