None of those countries are named after food, or anything to do with food.

Turkey - simple English rendering of the native name, Türkiye (very roughly "land of the strong").
Chile - etymology unknown, but almost certainly has nothing to do with the Mexican Spanish word "chile".
Greece - from the Latin word for the country, Gr?cia. (One of those where the name of a particular tribe came to be used for the entire country by foreigners who didn't know better.)
Hungary - from Turkic on-ogur ("ten arrows/tribes"), with the initial 'Hu-' spelling probably influenced by "Hun" (as in "Attila the") via folk etymology. (Another case of foreigners not knowing better: the Hungarian name for the country is Magyarország.)

Edit: if what you're after are placenames that _sound_ _like_ foods, you need to seriously rephrase your question. I daresay there aren't any countries that are named _for_ foods.

You're putting the cart before the horse. Turkey (Türkiye) gets it's name from the language group (Turkic) which has it's origins in what is now western China and is where the Turks originated.
The chili comes from South American and gets it's name from the country - Chile. Greece comes from the Latin 'Graeco', in Greek the country is called Hellenes. Hungary is the foreign name given to the country of the Magyars, by, among others, Germans (Ungarn), French (Hongrie) and English (Hungary). Bolivia is named after Simon Bolivar, who fought for the independence of many South American countries and is still honoured in may of them.

As mentioned before, these countries are not named after food, they just happen to sound like some English words for food. In other cases, there are foods that are named after countries.

My favorite is "Wiener", which is named after Vienna. The German name for Vienna is "Wien", and the word for Viennese is "Wiener".

Sorry Steve, you lost me here. Can you please pass on the recipes for the dishes that are called Greece and Hungary ? Don't keep the knowledge to your self.

Countries are not named after foods but foods after countries.

It is spelled Chile, and Mongolia, not Mangolia.
