Who knew eggs could be so vicious?


This is a menu from a restaurant near my apartment, Meson Don Fernando. There's Spanish on the left and English on the right to cater to tourists..once again, I doubt a native English speaker was used as an advisor. Here are some of my favorite translations:

"Table of bread with tomato"
"Cheese of sheep old man"
"Croquettes of the grandmother"
"In a mess (untidy) of pudding rice"

AND the winner:
"Attacked of fantasy of mushrooms of ham Iberian"

Note: the dishes, respectively, are a bread basket, aged sheeps' cheese, croquettes (done, I'm assuming with a recipe from someone's grandmother), something like a stir-fry, and scrambled eggs. Scrambled=attacked? I'm not sure where the fantasy comes in...
