Αναγνώστες του TLS ανθολογούν μαργαριτάρια από μενού εστιατορίων (19 Σεπτ.2015)
From menus
Sir, — A selection that I collected from various menus in Andalusian restaurants:
Gilthead to the back
Iberian trowel of acorn
Rice to the sailor
Fried big holes
Salad farmer
Scramble eggs of wheat
Broad baby beams with ham
Cured jam of shoulderblade
Fried eggs with jam
Rogaut to bull-fail
Vegetable could soup
Boiled egg tracks with tuna filets
Onioned meat baals
JOHN DEMOSS
1620 SW Randolph Avenue,
Topeka, Kansas 66604.
Sir, — From a restaurant in Chengdu: “Chefs Balls”. And two consecutive items on a menu in Xian: “Guts any style” and “Guts Other Way”. But my favourite is from long-ago Taichung, the practically pornographic “Smorked Salmon”. (How does one smork a salmon? Don’t ask.)
Sir, — Perhaps the final word on menus could come from Greece. May I offer: grass hill, atomic pizza, boorish omelette, a soft white cheese called manouri transliterated as manure, and from a Greek/French menu: poisons, all to be followed by sweat cakes. And in Serbia you can drink frozen blends and spiritous drinks.
