Ingliz Menuyu
William Dalrymple was born in Scotland and has become an internationally acclaimed writer of many travel books. He wrote a book, at the age of 22, called 'In Xanadu' which was published in 1989.
In his book Dalrymple recorded various experiences he and his companion had while travelling in Asia; this example is a menu he came across in a restaurant. It's a wonderful example of how to mangle English and is best appreciated by reading it out loud. However, the funny English idioms can be deciphered, even better, bet the food was delicious.
