What is the weirdest item you've seen on a menu at a restaurant?

Question

My favorite Chinese restaurant has an item named: "Budhha jumps over the wall" and it always cracks me up when I see it on the menu.

Answer 1

I was at a restaurant in Puerto Rico and they had "Octopussy Salad". Not too appealing!!

Answer 2

If you ever want to top every type of weird there is, go into a Filipino restaurant. I was dragged into one by a friend of mine years ago.....and on the menu, everything was badly translated. One of the items was actually "Fried Pork Chunks in Chocolate Sauce". My Tagalog-speaking friend told me that was wrong....that it was a BLOOD sauce (as if that made it any better).

Dessert?? Halo halo....not sure if I spelled that right, but it's this REALLY bizarre concotion of jello chunks, fruits, ice cream, lychee nuts and BEANS. Yes, beans. Half the ice creams they had in that place had beans. Which is a common Asian thing. Weird.

They had things that looked like danishes, but with meat in them. Sugar drizzle and everything.

They also had a dish with spaghetti, cut up hot dogs, and shredded cheese on top.

My companion was eating shrimp palabok, which is thin nasty looking noodles covered  in this shrimp c**p. It smells SO BAD.

I could go on. Walking into that place was like heading into some alternate dimension where people pile together the weirdest combinations of junk they can find and call it "food". Maybe a good place for pregnant women with cravings?? Ha.

Great question!! :)

Answer 3

It would have to be LIVE sushi.  They serve it with the fish (a garnish) still breathing with it's sides sliced up and served as the dish.  I love sushi but this is taking it a bit too far ... wouldn't you say?
