Our World: Hilarious Menu Selections

Lost in Translation - This menu at a mall restaurant in Jeddah just had too many weird translations on it that I couldn't understand what most of the items were.  Like, what is a "Chicken Knot"? Or "Node Thickness"? Or what kind of dish is a "Vegetable Problem"? How about "Precarious Chicken"? And what is a "Complaisant" dish?

And all these "Blindfolded" dishes? Does one need to be blindfolded in order to eat them, or what? I think Google translate was used for this menu ... I'd be mad if I paid someone to translate it into English and the result was this!

Unexpected

This isn't the type of thing one might expect to see in a shop window of a mall here in Saudi Arabia, where women are required to wear black outer cloaks, covered from head to toe...

Accessories Souq

Colorful scarves and jingling coins worn by belly dancers are available in this souq in Al Balad. There are no clubs where one can go to see belly dancers performing in this strict religious country, however I'm sure many men throughout the country may get their own private shows at home.

Safe Hotel

Hmmmmmm…

Sleep High

This is a chain of mattress outlets here in Jeddah. The business name is … interesting!

Hot Apple Seeder

Grammatical and spelling errors are commonly seen around Jeddah on menus, maps, and signage, where of course the native language is Arabic.
