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

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?

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.

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.
