Restaurant Menu misprints.
 
I work in a restaurant whose owner does not speak English as a first language. She makes the menus herself and doesn't get a native tongued edit. Hilarity ensues.

Some of my favorites:

Shrimp All Oil(instead of "al Ajillo")

Spice Ball of Chicken Breast(sort of a spicy chicken nugget)

Cramberry Juice(not a typo, misspelled this way many times)

I'll think of more and add.

My brother and his girlfriend went to a restaurant that had:
"Cumin Crusted Chicken"

We have a Chinese restaurant around the corner that has "SIDA DISHES" of french fries, chicken wings, white rice, etc. Even after reprints of their menu, it still spelled wrong.

Not a misprint, but once I was in Chi-Chi's during lent. They had a table card with non-meat offerings, one of which was 'Jane's Tuna Taco'. Obviously they didn't appreciate the ramifications of that term. hehe.

I bought a jar of laoganma chili sauce at a local chinese market (great stuff btw, gives stir fry a real kick.) There is a label glued over the original chinese one, and this is what it says:

In Peru I went to a restaurant that served satiated avocados. I guess they picked a bad translation for "stuffed."
