Nice! A place local to me has a dish on its menu called "Eel with Sour Piddle." It took me a long, long time to figure out that they meant "Sour Pickle." And the dish sounded infinitely more appetizing after that.

I liked his comment to the Do-Do Frog's Leg: "Use toilet paper, o Amphibian!" As well as "Not touching that one" for the one at the bottom of page 2. ;-)

Love it. Recently saw a Taiwanese menu with "deep fried Doug" on it. I was worried about poor Doug. But now I realize he's prolly just enjoying the "F*ck the Ginger water" in the back.

Maybe this is the restaurant that menu came from.......

Ah yes, I believe I've seen the deep fried Doug as well. Just today at a local Sichuan spot we noticed Fried Spicy Pork Bung. Mmmm....

I know this is kind of amusing but the first question I ask myself is how good is my Mandarin?

I'm with you, bookhound. More so when I see the same posters on such a thread fail at English.
