Scarlett Linda
Estonians have some strange names for their kitchen appliances. Our kettle, for example, is called 'Scarlett Linda.' Our stove is called 'Classic Candy.'
Staying with the culinary theme, I have been saving up some examples of 'restaurant English' that we have seen on menus in Estonia. As you will see, there are some funny ones. But it has to be said that the overall standard of written English that you see on signs, in official documents, etc. is very high. Anyway, here are the menu highlights:
Grilled wild animals with basil potatoes
Lamb's casserole with potato peeling
Pork cutlet overcooked with cheese
Fungal Stew
Minced dollop in sauce

Fungal stew? That does not sound appetizing. What is the recipe?
