Grammar Giggles – Menu Troubles

I recently hit the jackpot on menu errors when I found three in the same menu. First, it appears they only offer you one brussel sprout and then they spell that wrong. It should be Brussels (named after the city of Brussels) sprout.

Creamed Brussel Sprout with Bacon

Then, they off a “blackend” shrimp risotto, even though they spelled it “blackened” in the description.

Blackend Shrimp Risotto should be blackened

And finally, they offered the rainbow trout with “oyser” mushrooms. It should be “oyster” mushrooms.

Oyser mushroom should be oyster mushroom

It is never my intent to make fun of any establishment–just to use these errors to teach you something–so I have marked out the name of the restaurant. And regardless of the errors, the food was delicious!
