A Lebanese Blog

This menu will leave you in awe!

I really can’t believe someone can be that bad in English… the menu items are just unreal!

Tabboush snack is a proof that sucking at translation is not exclusive to Egyptians and Syrians (with all due respect), apparently Lebanese too can do a terrible job sometimes. The place offers Urination, Bebse, Duonas, Zaluoaa, Flesh, Black chickens, and a lot more… check for yourself.

According to my friend who provided the photos, Tabboush made 25,000 copies of the menu… so there’s 25,000 copies of this thing possibly roaming the streets of Beirut and ready to massacre your brain at anytime!

    No idea… but in case it was intentional, it definitely is not serving the purpose!

    I’m always shocked at how these people don’t think about hiring a professional copywriter at least to copyedit their English!

    If they don’t know how to write the items properly… do they really know how to cook them the right way???!!!

    In case you’re wondering how they managed to fuck it up so bad:

    1) they used Google Translate (“Tabbouleh” ~ “boul” = urine => “Urination” for “Tabbouleh”; “Lahmeh” = “Meat” = “Flesh” => “flesh” for “meat”, etc…)

    2) they relied on the way they pronounce words in Arabic (“Chacken”, “Maksikeh”, etc…)

    I’d say they’ve done a pretty good job for people who probably can’t read and write in English 😉
