How strange can a language be?

There is no egg in an eggplant. It doesn't look or taste like an egg.

There is no ham in a hamburger.

There is no pine nor apple in a pineapple.

Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.

English muffins were not invented in England and French fries were not invented in France, so where did such names come from?

I think the one who (created) these words did not think so , or maybe they're just result of them
