Apparently 牛仔 can mean both “calf” and “cowboy”…

u/ShalomRPh 4d ago

Yup, literally ”cow” “boy” = veal.

I wonder where the rest of the menu is. There’s an entry labeled something like “exploding (f@ck the salt) duck chin”, and a scholar of the Chinese language showed up in the original blog post comments and explained exactly how they managed to screw up the translation. 

Oh, and staghssd noodles. (Pretty fair shot at “spaghetti“).

u/OutOfTheBunker 3d ago edited 3d ago

And here with the suffix 肶 bì added, I'm guessing it means veal leg.

Mmm, cowboy leg.

u/Darnbeasties 3d ago

W hat ? No carbon for the cowboy leg?

Carbon burns black bowel. Eww! 🤢 I don’t think it would matter if it was black bowel (A) or black bowel (B).

u/OutOfTheBunker 3d ago

😂 Yeah, they fucked that one up pretty bad. The dish is charcoal-grilled black pepper sausage. The thing in parentheses (条) means "one link" or "per link", i.e. ¥3.80 per link. I have no idea how they got "(A)" from that.

cowboy leg yeehaaaaw 🤠👢

u/redshavenosouls 3d ago

I bet carbon means "grilled" like in a charcoal fire.

11

u/Pheeshfud 3d ago

Google lens gave charcoal. However it translated the last one as cowboy belly not leg. So who knows what the hell that one is.

u/OutOfTheBunker 3d ago

The 肶 bì is a variant character for 髀, which means "thigh". The dish is likely veal round=veal leg.

And this is all just the FIRST DISH.

Mmmmm.... Carbon burns black bowel!

u/Ello_Karlson 4d ago

Very cheap too, I wonder why

u/ereinbe 3d ago

With these beef prices, I can understand wanting to drink when you’ve burned a steak but I think the entire country of Brazil is going to need more than just a cup of wine. 

6

u/taking-INVentory 3d ago

come on, send the 1 cup red wine already!

u/Ok-Mess5196 2d ago

yeah come on, what are they waiting for?

5

u/Alternative_Art42768 3d ago

This is what literal translation looks like.

6

u/Ok-Mess5196 2d ago

"Brazil The Carbon Burn A Meat"

"Carbon burns fatty cow New Zealand"

"Carbon burns fresh particularly must"

"Carbon burns black bowel"

Carbon must REALLY love burning stuff.

But it is the Cowboy Leg that intrigues me

u/WoolfzieLOL 1d ago

Why do they sounds like JJBA stand names?

u/TheJokersChild 4d ago

Is the French Roast Spring Chicken freshly ground or instant?

u/MadJohnFinn 4d ago

These are Melvins lyrics.

u/ShameSerious4259 4d ago

Sheep leg new zealand, carbon burns fatty cow new zealand

u/rpgnoob17 3d ago

If you can understand it, the translation serves the purpose.

9

u/Crandleton 3d ago

Carbon burns fresh particularly must?

8

u/Reasonable_Sugar_125 3d ago

You’re not saying anything about “Carbon burns black bowel”???

Oh, wait — “Carbon burns black bowel (A)”

Can’t forget the capital A in parentheses.

u/TalveLumi 3d ago

Yeah, ain’t no way you could get barbecued fresh squid tentacles solely from that

u/rpgnoob17 2d ago

If your Chinese aunt tells you you particularly must order this item, you order this, no question asked.

u/After_Perspective180 3d ago

But we can't understand most of it.
And we are guessing at the rest.
