Lost in translation.

[vakkotaur]

One of the items I received for Christmas is daily desk calendar with stupid or at least curious quotations for each day. Today's item is actually three. Three menu items from Asian restaurants, supposedly.

Non-agricultural chemical Rice & Brown Rice

Seems to be a bit too much detail in the translation. Seems like it should be "Organic rice."

Shrimps in Spit

This one is a puzzle.

Bacon and Germs

Well, germ can mean something other than bacteria. Like the germ of an idea, a beginning. Say, the beginning of a bird perhaps. Thus, "Bacon and Eggs"

Probably all fine dishes, but I'm not sure I could bring myself to order the shrimp.
