Interesting article, it also made me cry a bit.

Happy Friday.

When I was in Japan a couple of years ago, a bar-snack menu offered "Dry Greenpeace" in place of (I assume) wasabi peas.

Nice one, thanks for posting, made me chuckle.

On holiday - aah, holidays - on the Canary island of La Palma, we came across a restaurant claiming to serve "clams to the sailor's blouse".

We never have worked out what it is. If we ever go back, we shall have to order it, just to satisfy our curiosity.

I was in a seafood restaurant on the Portuguese coast near Lisbon a few years ago and one of menu items simply read 'edible crap'

I didnt order it.

Also, I saw this great description in Seoul

edible crap, ha.

Perhaps it wasn't actually a mistake? It wasn't MacDonalds by any chance?

Not quite to the same scale,but when I was in Perth for the ashes 4 years ago we all went into a Korean restaurant and looked at the menu.
Chicken feet soup was one dish and North Korean army stew was another delicacy that we declined.
We decided to try elsewhere pretty quickly.

In the same vein and, maybe mentioned on here before...I really enjoy reading some of the signs over storefronts or the stencilled words on the shop windows in the more ethnic parts of town. Seen some blinders over the years, left me crying all the way to the jobsite and today, I spotted a beauty when passing through the Eglestone Sq neighbourhood....Wigs, Human Virgin Hair.
