What are the most ridiculous food combinations or descriptions you’ve seen at restaurants?

The Japanese brunch cafe near me sprinkles nori and some other stuff on the fries that come as a side.

We have a delicious mushroom gravy and chevre poutine available in Toronto. Best veggie poutine and best veggie gravy I’ve had.

That’s a great topic for this week!

AFAICT, there are 3 threads about poutine already.

I’ve only had it in Montreal. And my kitchen. Both good!

In Alberta and Saskatchewan, fried potato and cheese pierogis are sometimes an option at diners and greasy spoons, in addition to home fries and hash browns. I like eggs with fried pierogis.

And then, there’s also pierogi poutine, since we poutinify almost anything.

I meant ‘foods consumed while drunk’.

If I remember correctly, the FTC board had a “Drunk/Stoned and Hungry” thread, for all one’s shameful peanutbutter and anchovy quesadillas and other such monstrosoties that seemed like a good idea at the time.

More from the biggest local offender, I just can’t with these peeps :grin:

“Kandied” and “marshmellow” are what stood out to me, even before the overly fluffy descriptions.

The descriptions…oh, the descriptions. Where’s that bleach eye rinse when you need it?

At least it’s a readable typeface.

And no “cutesy” or creative spelling. Whew! :sweat_smile:

Still couldn’t pay me to eat there.

I just saw this on FB and then found it on YouTube. Even better that Stanley Tucci is one of the guests.

bathing and swimming.

Yes. Swimming is not a good descriptor for a menu item, and neither is bathing.

I agree with the Chinese hot. I use that a ton.

MOAR from the place. I really wonder who writes these descriptions :face_with_peeking_eye:

I’m drunk just reading about the jumbo fresh burrata mozzarella ball :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

If one is ‘crostino’ and two are ‘crostini’, how many are ‘crostinis’? What is the holy trinity of flavor - Chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla?
