Oh Damn
I was so looking forward to ordering some “Bean curd made by a pock-marked woman” for lunch today
BEIJING, China (CNN) — What’s in a name?
When it’s a local dish like “Husband and wife’s lung slice” or “Chicken without sexual life,” lots of furrowed eyebrows on famished foreigners.
So, with the Olympics a few short weeks away, China is giving its cuisine a linguistic makeover.
It is proposing that restaurants change the names of exotic, but bizarrely named, delicacies to make them more delectable for the estimated 50,000 visitors arriving in August for the Summer Games.
The appetizer “Husband and wife’s lung slice” is taking on the more appetizing “Beef and ox tripe in chili sauce.”
“Chicken without sexual life” has been transformed into “Chris Matthews.”
Yet another cultural loss for our world.

“Six to four,” the man says.
“You mean 60% cardboard? What is the other 40% ?” asks the reporter.
“Fatty meat,” the man replies.”
In Waukegan that’s called “Little Caesar’s”.
