BAD COOKING PRACTICES.
A public service in avoiding suicide through eating bad cooking. This monkey's self-sacrifice (plus any other victims in the vicinity) will hopefully help you circumvent any pitfalls in your own misadventures in the kitchen. May the strongest stomach survive!

Menu Mistranslations or Misprints?

Regardless of why menus can turn into a comedy act, it certainly makes for a fun way to start the meal. ;) At our often visited Chinese restaurant, we discovered they'd printed up some new menus that were a step up from the old ones with colorful pictures and a hard cover. Not that their old menu was crap...

My hypothesis is that the menu was not proofread. Ok. I admit my real hypothesis is that some items were poorly translated and misspelled. For entertainment, though, I took the menu seriously, as is, and feared that dinner could be potential disaster for my stomach. Such as Gasseroles? Could the dishes be chock full of flatulence inducing ingredients? =O For my sake (and any living organism within a 1-mile radius), I should hope not, and that it merely means the dishes arrive bubbling hot!
Exotic species as ingredients? Did this restaurant misunderstand what "poaching" means?? ;P

Update: They corrected the misspellings with white-out and such. Haha!
