Many thanks Mamyalynne. I understand the logic and parsing for Tarama, but rejected it as the answer because I've never heard the word used as an alternative to taramasalata, and Chambers doesn't seem to have heard of it either. Can you give me some sort of reference to justify it. TIA.
It's simply a simplified name - from the Turkish leaving out the 'salata' (salad) part.

Sorry, Mamyalynne, I hadn't seen your reference to Wikipedia when I wrote my last post. Thank you.
It's also in the Oxford Dictionary of English, often used in crosswords.
You're welcome, I hadn't come across the shortened name either.
