Fun with words

Language mix-ups I’ve seen on menus in Russia:

- Boiled Language (means boiled beef tongue)

- Tortured Rabbit (means rabbit stew ~ although…)

- Mix of green salad with cotton cheese

- Pizza with hum

Too much information:

“Liver of the Geese: which were bought for a very high price from Testov having been fed by him personally in his country house, using special feeders where legs of the geese were partitioned with bars: “to cherish their livers!””

Something I don’t think I’ll try:

- Wart tongue salad
