The Fitzsnuggy's fish sandwich was also a play on "haddock", only different as in " it's giving me a pounding haddock". Not too appetizing. :( I wonder who stole what from whom?

While wandering into a gelateria in Rome, near the Piazza Navona I came upon a flavor called "crema di nonno" - translation: grandpa's cream. It was very good. Rich, creamy and custardy befitting of its description. :D To this day my sister and her friend tease me about this daring choice. Last year I went back looking for the place but unfortunately I couldn't find it. Maybe it was closed down. I think the name was Procope if my memory serves me right. Does anyone know?

We used to order this dish at Swatow in Toronto just for the sheer pleasure in saying, "Gimme some Fukkin Fried Rice please". :D

A local speciality is - was "Welsh Dragon Sausages". (spicy pork sausages)
Yes, you've guessed it - this name has recently been deemed misleading under the Trade Descriptions Act.
Stinking Bishop cheese is apparently acceptable as a name though.

Perhaps in Toronto it's known as Fukkin Bishop cheese? :D

A Chinese restaurant in Berkeley lists Human Brawns on the menu.

My all time fave, however, is at the oddly named Guadalahonky's in Draper, UT. I always imagine Samuel L. Jackson walking in and ordering the mother f**king "Honky Finger Food."

I find the awkward translations to be the funniest.

"Biche" was translated as "hind of hinde" at an unmemorable bistro in Luxembourg...

Becoming popular now in Orange County is "Effen" Vodka. What brilliant marketing person came up with that name? After hearing "Gimme another Effen vodka on the rocks" everyone in the bar wants to try it, if only for the novelty of ordering it!

Speaking of badly done translations:

I still can't stop laughing

I don't know what's in it, but monkey gland sauce is great! You should give it a try.

goodo

'Drunken shrimp' in HKG had my wife going, "Did the shrimp actually drink?" :rolleyes:

I always thought Kolic - Japanese mineral water was pretty funny

Our local butcher sells "dog sausage" but claims it is for dogs not made of dogs.
He also sells cheese called "Careful may bite back"

Nothing compares to that site, but. There is a restaurant in Chinatown that sells "Baked Bean Burd Bloated"

I think it was deep fried bean curd (tofu) baked in a pot with soup so it puffed up. But the imagery and alliteration were priceless.

I bought some Drunken Goat cheese from Fresh Market last week - goat cheese cured in port wine. Yum!

I've always found Fugu a very funny name :P

I suppose that has a better connotation than Gobble and Squat.

My favourite menu item was a dessert at a very swank CP hotel restaurant in the Rockies:

"A Warm French-Canadian Tart"

Needless to say it was a very popular dish.

Not funny food names on menus, but funny restaurant names:

In Hayes, Bromley, Kent, UK: Sum Poo (chinese takeaway, sadly no longer there)

In Peacehaven, East Sussex, UK: Wing Fat (chinese restaurant & takeaway)
