Its obvious but some are calling French Fries "Freedom Fries"

This isn't really a funny menu name, but a funny restaurant name. A guy I used to work with went there in Germany. http://www.oops-lb.de/start.html. They have all kinds of foods there with "Oops" in the name.

A restaurant in Bologna translated one of their offerings as "limp c**k". How it happened made sense at the time, but i've since forgotten.

Hope I don't get suspended for sharing this...

If we're going to include restaurant names, we gotta talk about "Squat and Gobble", just off I-95 in South Carolina! Just look for the billboard.

There's a separate thread in this forum on funny restaurant names. It's strange that the one you mention I've seen elsewhere - on Haight Street in San Francisco, although it may be S&G II (and #1 is in SC? How odd!).

In the South Africa restaurants, among the steak sauces available are peri peri and "monkey gland" sauce.

Peri Peri is okay, haven't tried the monkey gland sauce......don't think I will!

This reminds me that Mrs. BamaVol brought home a chocolate chip-banana "monkey bread" mix from Target yesterday. I looked at the ingredients and was disappointed that there were no more than trace amounts of monkey in the box.

Fitzsnuggy's named sandwiches for celebrities (no particular reason I know of). Their tuna salad was "Ike and Tina Tuna". Their cream cheese and olive sandwich was named Cream Abdul Jabbar.Others?

The Great Lost Bear in Portland ME (PWM) has an Ike and Tina Tuna on the menu, plus the "I've Never Haddock Like This" fish sandwich and a few other good 'uns.

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
