A one letter difference on this menu results in an embarrassing basic Spanish mistake here.
This would not be a problem if the menu were used in a restaurant in a non-Spanish speaking country. However, I found it where Spanish is the native language.
Since most of the menu is in English, identifying the mistake is a bit more challenging. Just be sure to read the menu keeping Spanish in mind. Oh, and I found just one mistake so if there are others, please speak up.
Learn Spanish Quiz: Embarrassing Menu Mistake
ANSWER:
There’s a wonderful Italian pasta known as penne, written with a double N. Not to be confused with the Spanish, single N, pene, found in the red circle here. Translated as “penis.”
Wouldn’t you want someone to take a good look at your menu before opening your restaurant and offering Alfredo’s Penis with “your choice of add” chicken, salmon or shrimp?
I would like to give credit to the restaurant for spelling Caesar properly.
