Yastreb, wherever do you find this stuff?
I´m always asking myself that too. Do you have just a giant archive of jokes at home? :'D Because if so, that´s amazing.

All these menues remind me of a situation me and my family had during our holiday a few years ago (I think in France?). We were in a restaurant trying to order pizza, and as the waiter noticed we were German, he gave us a translated menu. We were quite surprised at the amount of "Raketen" (=Spacerockets) that were supposedly in quite a few dishes.

Well, turns out the rockets they actually meant where these, they had first translated the menu to English and then to German word by word while ignoring the context, and well, rockets in German ar not salad... (Or rather, the German word can´t be used for it.)

thorny, I thought the vegetable rather than the shortbready/cakey thing because ‘fried’.

You're probably right. I was most likely misled because around here they're liable to deep fry nearly anything; at least if you count at county fairs.

I agree that Sweat is meant to indicate a choice from the sweets trolley.  Strawberry crêpe, perhaps?  I wonder whether the Roasted duck is meant to be L'orange? I can deduce that there is chicken soup and cold shredded chicken, but the sea blubber escapes me - whale, maybe?

Only the vaguest clue, guessing something about mushrooms, and cabbage?

I was wrong in saying that I know only one bi-lingual pun...

Soupcon is French for a small amount, only morceau.

Why does the Norwegian Navy have barcodes on the sides of its ships?

So that when they return to port, it can Scandinavian.

You know, I would be mad at you... But this is actually a better option than the song that´s been stuck in my head for the last hour, so I´m just gonna take this, nod at you politely and walk away humming the lion sleeps tonight.

Did you you know about the urban legend according to which Walt Disney was cryogenically frozen? Actually, he was creamated. That's too bad, if he had been frozen there would have been a chance to re-animate him someday.

Another forum would often have threads on stories written one paragraph at a time, which were open to any posters. One thing that featured in some stories was a tendency to include very contrived acronyms (OK, I admit, that was mainly my doing). Here are some of the acronyms dreamed up in those stories, excluding in-jokes and some of the cruder ones.
