Well, I guess every self-respecting burger joint has a "The Pounder: Pain is just weakness leaving the body - burger"
At least mine has ;-)

I've always thought a "pupu platter" sounded a little funny myself.

Last year a group went out to dinner in England. We saw "braised fa..ots"( looks like the profanity monitor does not allow usage of the word. It rhymes with maggots) on the menu. We ordered one dish of them for the table. Yuck...chopped liver in a gravy sauce...

A local chinese restaurant in Brisbane, Australia has the following two items on their menu

"Soft Shell Crap"
"Green Teeth"

FYI the Soft Shell Crab is great, and the green tea is lovely.

This place has all goofy names:

I don't really know why they get named this way. "The Other Lewinsky" anyone? :D

"Sloppy Joe" also brings laughter whenever I think of it.

Here is one from a restaurant near where I live in Toronto; meat craps. Could be meat scraps, crab meat or ???

Truth in advertising.

A standard (and one of my favourite) items on French bistro menus for lunch is "chevre chaud", which is a green salad with toasted goat's cheese (usually melted on slices of baguette). Yum. Occasionally, the English menu translates this popular dish as "hot goat", more interesting but perhaps less appetising.

At Village Inn (a place that is like Denny's) on the kids menu is the "Funny Face" wich is a pancake with a mouth made whipped cream and blueberry eyes.

Calls to mind the "conehead sundae" at Friendly's. Eyes and nose of Reeses Pieces with a cone for a dunce cap.

Ants Climbing Trees: Chinese noodles w/ground pork.

Never seen it on a menu, but we used to fill celery with peanut butter, stick raisins on them and call them ants on a log.
