Menu Speak..

Post and time short today…

An alert reader sent me a link to a story about “phrases that should be banned from menus” – here’s a sampling:

Respectively interpreted as "shrimp shrimp"; "eggplant in the style of eggplant"; and "with with juice."



--"Homemade [anything]"

--"Grilled to perfection"

What is perfection? Can you boil cabbage to perfection? We want a stove with a "perfection" setting.

whatever you read,make sure you're
