I often get a laugh reading menus with weird dishes listed or funny attemps at translation. Last night in a riverside restaurant at Nakorn Phanom I saw "Steamed Pork Testicles in Stew" for 50Bt. However, as I'm a vegetarian I didn't get to sample this tasty offering.
In the past I've come across "Burnt Bread" (toast) and "Fried Rice with cra p" is a common error.

I have enjoyed many a fried rice with ****. It can be just about as much enjoyment reading the menu as having the meal. I also love Thai signs, like this one advertising free beer at a christmas party.

I love Thailand this much

are the items left off in English (in dual Thai / English menus), such as ants, crickets and tree grubs; oh yummy. But that aint so bad when you consider one of my standing jokes for Bali; What do the Balinese eat? The Balinese eat EVERYTHING! The other one being; When do the Balinese have ceremonies? The Balinese they have ceremonies EVERY DAY! Trust me, after bat stew and dog liver sate, Thai pigs balls and tree grubs are OK by me!

Years ago in Perth Western Australia, we were asked by friends to go to a Indian Restaurant, not usually my favourite but we went, and it was pretty good, different part of India I was told to the Punjabi style of another place which we didn’t like.
7 or 8 days later I opened the morning paper to see where the Indian restaurant had been knocked off by the Health Dept. for having maggots in the food, a cockroach infested kitchen, mice and roach sh*t in kitchen and the food.
A day later the mate rang and said what about going back, I asked him if he was nuts, didn’t he see the article in the paper….?
He said now will be the time to go back while it is nice and clean, seemed logical at the time, but I didn’t enjoy it.
I have to say that Indian food tastes better with maggots, mouse and roach Sh*t.
It’s not just in Thailand that they leave some ingredients off the menu
