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