So many menus, so little time...

1. Yikes!

You'd be cooking forever if you tried 'em all.........

2. Around the world in 80 days?

Start with one close to home and work your way around the world country by country.

3. I'd screw with people and do my own book cover up that is a cookbook cookbook (quick

and easy meals you can make using only unread cookbooks)

[Celebration]

4. LOL

Looks almost like three bookshelves of mine.

So what do I do when I want to get a new recipe? Google it!

5. Speaking of menus.....

a colleague of mine gave me a copy of a menu from the Rialto Cerveceria, which had the following English translations:

National Squid Gangplank

Couches of Gluttony

Fried Black Poplars

Rape Marinera

Soup of Authority

Keel end to the oven

Loin of long bone-ration

Bacon of sky

Home-loving flan

Loin of Luff

:D

:hi:

6. That's hilarious!

The only word I could figure out for sure was gangplank - plancha (meaning Smorgasbord).


Maybe we need another website like Engrish.com, but for Spanish speakers. We could call it Inglich.com

9. Hey Xipe, glad you liked it!

The "gangplank" is one of my favorites. That would be calamares a la plancha, right? Mmmmm!

Another one of my favorites is couches of gluttony. I found an illustration of that:




I like your Spanish speaking version of Engrish.com idea. One could also have one that included massacred translations from any language called "Englitch.com".

13. Illustrates the case

against eating certain animals and wearing fur.
This is hysterical.
Thanks.
Don't know just WHERE I was looking.

14. Looks like A flying squirrel had a love affair with Daniel Boone's raccoon hat nt

7. Can you hear me laugh? N/T

[trusty elf]

10. Mmm-hmm!

Did you see my illustration for "Couches of Gluttony"

:D

[Mira]

11. Can't find it. Where is it? n/t

[trusty elf]

12. upthread #9

:D

8. I swear,

a few of these have clones in my house.
Except for the "Culinaria" Spain, here it is bright blue and the name is "Culinaria" Germany.

A fun photo, and a nice idea to take it.

15. Your cookbook shelves look like mine,

I recognize a few of those books from my own collection. Lord Krishna's Cuisine for one and I think I have that Flavors of India, as well. Is that a Moosewood cookbook on the bottom shelf?

[Xipe Totec]

16. Moosewood. You are right!

You are seeing one half of three shelves of a five shelf library; my wife's lifetime collection of cookbooks.

You can see which books she reaches for the most often, by the shape of the dust covers.

Cuisines of Mexico is her favorite.

17. Oh, thank goodness, cookbooks!

I loathe all the menus on digital cameras. Focus, aperture, shutter speed. That's all I ask.

Now I'm hungry.

[JeffR]

18. Quite a collection!
