Subject: BS: bad translations
My daughter and I were grabbing a bite to eat while waiting for a train in Genoa. It was late but we found a little restaurant
within walking distance that had an Italian/English menu. I told my daughter I would like to try the 3rd item on the menu and
waited for her response. The English translation said, "Handkerchief with slick!" It was actually lasagna with basil sauce.

My favorite is a restaurant which advertises. "Fired rice and Nooldes"

I suppose this isn't a bad translation but poor spelling.

What are some of the "funnies" you have seen?
