So call me anal but I was bothered this morning by the specials board at a nearby café. Among the offerings today are:
- Brocoli and cauliflower soup
- Gujons with tarter sauce
- Panninis
- Sandwichs
When I noticed this litany of errors, it rather put me off my scone and cappuccino. If they don’t care enough to spell things properly, why should I think they care enough to prepare my food properly? Misspelled menus are one of my great bugbears when it comes to eating out. And yes, I know I should probably calm down and get a life but it’s just so ANNOYING.

I’m with you there, Kathy – I HATE silly spelling errors like that. As for misplaced apostrophes…….
Oooh, don’t get me started! There is (or at least was, until recently) a big sign for a lingerie shop at the roundabout in Douglas. It was utterly shameless. There, in foot-high letters for all the world to see, was this:
BRA’S.
I can’t stand it when it’s an ethnic menu with blazing errors. I for one would definitely have a native double check my menu if opening a restaurant in a foreign country… but maybe that’s just me? 🙂
