Yellow curry worries

menu

It’s time for another funny bit of restaurant Dunglish. The Dutch word for ‘crab’ is ‘krab’, but it ended up as ‘crap’ here. Someone did try and correct it, but seemed unsure. And for people who cannot read Dutch that well, the ‘Poe’ bit just above (in English, ‘Poo’), is phonetic Dutch for whatever that means in Thai and still not very appetizing.

    Did you know there’s a North American freshwater fish called a crappie?

    I know of a fish called “crapet” in French, a type of bass.

    That ‘crap’ reminds me of a Dutch fellow student in Sweden who tried to explain boerenkool to Swedes and other foreigners.
    He described it as ‘a kind of green garbage’.
