Lost in Translation

Lost in Translation

A Chinese menu translated into "English": May I Take Your Order?

Mmmmm. "Big bowl of immerses from fish head." "Salty egg vegetable sponge liver pig soup." "Carbon burns black bowel." "Cowboy leg." "Chicken ear jade liquid geng." (Do chickens have ears?)

I guess I shouldn't laugh. I'm sure some translations by native English-speakers into fractured "Chinese" are just as hilarious. But I can't help it.
