Pecorino of the clays to the bag with cream to the hypocrite

Scan0001That title is an actual menu item from Exhibit A. Amongst the lovely photos of duomos and statues with their noses knocked off, my father sent me this menu snap from a recent trip to Italy.

Did you ever read Everything Is Illuminated, wherein one of the main characters uses a very goofy Russian-English dictionary for his translations? Malapropisms and hilarity ensue. Menus are often like that. Here are another couple humdingers:

--Potato dumplings of potato to the I crush of Chicory and Pinoli

--Rabbit of farm to the aromas in handicraft preserve with potatoes roast

--Braised of wild boar to the Noble of Montepulciano

I don't know about you, but cream of hypocrite is pretty enticing.
