Hilarious Food Spellings - What's in a name? ROFL


What's in a name? Of course not much but have a hearty laugh reading concoctions of the various spelling mistakes that gives the dish a completely hilarious touch! Error Error on the cards whose “michtake” is it after all. Mostly completely unintentional and probably written in accordance to the way it’s pronounced! So here we start with a look at various "Minu Card" or “Meenu Card"!

Spelling goof ups start from "Brakefast","Aamlate","Corn flecks","Cheez Sandwitch" and “Bhej Sandwitch” choices are umpteen. A friend of mine asked me to guess what an “Appayil” meant, I put in an hard thought but just couldn’t guess…it’s suppose to be “Half Boiled Eggs” in some part of our country. In fact the Indo Chinese list tops in spelling slips. Firstly read this “Sweat and Sour Soup" ...eeks! Another dish the delicious choupsuey when it reads "Chowpusy" it can be pretty repelling to many. OMG!! to add to the list "Silly Chicken", “Hole Fried Chicken”, “Chinese Nudals” and "Flight rice". Some of the other common bloopers, "Thy Noodles"....oh Thy Almighty save us!

It’s a common occurrence in beverages too which often lists "Paypsee", "Diet Cock" and "Fresh Lame Soda". Once a friend of mine had shared an absolutely hilarious hoarding in a shop "Child Bear Available Here" read (chilled beer).Indian menus on the list can be awfully amusing too. Here goes a list of some "Fried Crap", “Piss Pry”, “Dhaal Fry”, "Gar Lick Nun ", "Coolcha", “Plane Rice”, "Gobhi Manghuri", "Masala Gopi", "Born Less Tikka", “Baygon Bharta”, “Peace Curry”, “Ben di Fry”. The list can be pretty long. Imagine have you heard of "Evening Snakes"? Bakeries selling “Veg Pup”, “Egg Pup”, “Pija”, “Bred” and “Paw”? Interested in some “Cold Copy” or “Milk Sake”? This is the ultimate one “Tit Bites” actually meaning Tit Bits….just imagine!!!

In spite of spending on flash signboards, expensive interiors and menu cards they can’t find someone to spell correctly. If we have a Spell Bee championship with the people who have come up with these spellings, it can turn into one of the best aired comedy shows. Just read, laugh and have fun! Laughter is the best medicine.
