Things you might see on a menu

You know what I like?  I like it when a restaurant menu just says what's what.  I mean, come on - greedy pancakes?  Okay, so it's not perfect English usage (yeah, as if I should snark at anyone else about that - hee!), but boy, it sure is descriptive, right? Mmmmmm, greeeeeeeeeedy pancakes.  Love it.  And don't even get me started about the alcoholic pancakes - I actually had something else when I ate there (I know, right?  I'm an idiot), but rest assured I'll be going back to try those bad boys out...

One of the great amusements for expats in Paris (or maybe just me, I'm easily amused) is the bad translation from French to English found on many restaurant menus.  Waiters will often give you the English version (if they have one), even if you've asked for it in French, so you might as well enjoy it. I'm quite vexed that I forgot to take a photo on the occasion when I saw "rat potatoes" on a menu, but this one is also a particular favourite of mine...
