that's atrocious. they could have copied the spelling off the bottle , surely

but duck with arminak (!) sounds vile anyway

Sounds like a disease!

Are you sure it wasn't armiquack?

I received an email from a colleague saying they were being referred to an 'authorpedic surgeon'

Iklboo - do you think their writing would be any better than that of the rest of the medical profession?

"crucified Pigeon" was on a menu we looked at in Paris last year.

Can only hope they meant Spatchcocked.....

lol at Crucified Pigeon - was there a crown of thorns, do you think? You should have tried it just to see if you could spot the stigmata.

MungoBrim · 15/06/2009 20:09

LOL at crucified pigeon!

I saw "rasputin" and "compost" on a menu in Cyprus once - rice pudding and compote, apparently
