I travel a lot and often see funny translations on menus.
I've seen amongst others :
Small cock in red wine
Veal with the Milanese Woman
Cat (fish)
Small pieces of fish cooked in hot grease
This evening I saw one of the best, and of course it's a typo rather than a translation error, so it took a second or so for the penny to drop because it's in an upmarket hotel in an English speaking country :
8OZ ANUS RUMP STEAK
I choose another item from the menu. |

A friend of my parents' was once at an Israeli restaurant.
The Hebrew word root K-B-D can mean liver, heavy, or honor. So the menue translated kabed oaf (chicken liver) as... Respect the Chicken.
That same menu also had "dessert" as "last dose". |

In China I have ordered the "Pork fat in boiled down pork water".
It was literally lumps of Pork Fat simmered in pork stock.
It was ok actually, slightly greasy, but the stock was fine. I didn't want to chew on the fat as it was very rubbery looking. |

I run into that over in Eastern Europe when we go out to the villages. The one example that sticks in mind was " Father meat in grease"
Personally I think Japan had the best idea. The restaurants there just handed out menu's that had nothing but pictures. |

Two weeks or so ago I was in the supermarket, lining up the get rid of my money, and there this delivery-guy came to bring new stock.
What he had in his boxes was, to say the least, surprising. He had like 6 boxes full with pig-heads!
Another interesting article in that supermarket are the frogs they sell there, alive of course...
But hey, I guess these things still don't beat the jar-o-seahorse that can be found in just about any pharmacy around here... |

I've had fried blood in Nepal, deep fried sparrow(?) in Burma and even took my dinner for walkies in Istanbul before eating it (good doggy) but in Romania in August I pick up a jar of CRAP.
And it was. According to my Moldovan better half, it is a delicacy, some sort of seafood. tasted like shit though. I'll dig out the lid and post it when I get the chance. |

it was in a restaurant in china that touted itself to to be 'western' that I noticed something funny on the menu.
The menu attempted to have english translations...or at least partial descriptions of the items.
One item I think was a salad...had an entry next to it stating it was 'like screwing in spring rain'. |

GordonBennett mentioned Moldova, which reminds me the menus there always used to crack me up.
First of all, most menus resembled a small developing country's phone book with more than 60 pages of offerings. Then, most items were translated to things like Pork Royale, Pork Excellence, Pork Winter Bliss, Pork Cordru, Pork Sublime, Pork Elisabeth, Pork Diane, and so on... completely uninformative, except in some restaurants the menu items had numbers in the description like vegetable soup with tomato, carrots, onion, and seasonings (1, 2, 0.5, 0.2, 0.1, 0.1, 0.04).
I never had any idea what on earth these things could be, but discovered that didn't matter much because when I asked the waiter it usually turned out the kitchen could only prepare maybe 5% of what was listed (...perhaps the chef didn't know what all those things were or what the numbers meant either?).
In any case, the food was nearly always excellent and Moldova was one of my favorite Eastern Europe countries to work in. I remember a particularly fun dinner one summer night when the restaurant's cellar ran out of chardonnay sauvignon. We all liked the first wine so much that someone in our group decided to call for a bottle of chardonnay, a bottle of sauvignon, and a pitcher to mix the two (1, 1 you might say)! |

The adorable people at our local Chinese buffet used to totally crack me up with their less successful attempts to label some of the dishes when they first opened. Personal favorites were "Butter with Potatoes", which, if you ask me, is just getting your priorities straight, and the slightly more boggle-inducing "Chopped Spanish with Cheese".
As it was spinach, the "Soylent Green is people!" line immediately ran through my head. |

French Toast
Why?
As a teenager I worked in a kitchen at a summer camp. One summer we had a young French student working there on a 'work & travel' set-up.
One Sunday morning we made French Toast.
He asked: 'whot iz zis?'
We said: 'French Toast.'
'French Toast?'
'Yes, French Toast.'
'I due not know zis, zat iz not French.'
'But it's French Toast.'
'We due not ate toast like zat; I 'ave never seen zat before.'
He just laughed and shook his head. |

When I was traveling around Laos, the menus usually had some misspellings in them and you had to use some imagination to understand them totally.
In one place they had crabs in the menu, although it was spelled "crap".
I didn't take the risk, who knows if actually was poo they were selling... |

It's not a menu item, but a good sign that I saw anyway. In a tourist tat shop in Amsterdam, the sign on the outside of the shop said (In English):
