Plum f***s vegetables.
Vegetables burn meat.
Temple explodes chicken.

It’s not Japanese. It’s Chinese, and badly translated based on sounds.

It is small to explode the fish – The word for fried and explode in Chinese are the same, zha.

The domestic life fries the vegetables – Eh not sure for this one. Maybe it’s Szechuan fried vegetables.

Form dollar road hoof – Probably means Blocks of venison thigh (Lu= Road, deer)

Pig feet claw – Pork trotters

The plum f*cks the vegetables burns the meat – I’ve no idea how f*cks comes into play, but it’s mei cai shao rou, or Preserved vegetabless and roasted meat.

Fish dog meat silk – The word for silk (si) is the same as shreds

The temple explodes the chicken cube – Gong bao ji ding, Kung Pow chicken. Gong is temple/palace.

Good news! Those weirdo evangelists a couple of streets across have agreed to sell us the blast shutters from one of their obsolete armageddon bunkers at below-cost, on the condition that we sound the warming siren before the next blessing of the host – apparently, some of their congregation heard the last one, and took to their hermetically sealed fallout shelters to wait for the final judgment, and are now incommunicado and not expected to come out until Himself himself knocks on the door to tell them which side won, and there’s no way to inform them that it was a false alarm. Anyway, we fit them on the *inside* of the windows, and we should be able to set off as many hosannahs as we like.

Well, all we do, see, is we ban contraception and make people have more kids, to replenish the supply. Too easy.

I’ve taken the membership recruiting funds and bought out all of the neighborhood firework stands unsold surpluses. Some were donated for the charitable tax write off and a promise that they could help set them off.

We’ve blown through the stained glass repair budget. Next council meeting we need to reassign funds or find a sponsor and move the blessings and prayers outside.

These priests are incorrigible! The old way of “blowing up altar boys” was bad enough!

Congregation numbers have improved markedly since they started substituting black powder for incense, although the altar boys seem strangely reduced in number.

To add to the confusion, I’ve seen it identified with different numbers that seem to mean different things. The more I learn about the Chinese language, the less I understand!

We see it a lot on this site. It’s this:干 or looks very much like it. It’s listed on my Mac as GAN1, but so are several other Chinese characters.

And Benny Hill as a vicar, who was served “the piece of cod that passeth all understanding.”

There’s a chinese character that can mean several things “to do” (f**k), “dry cook” (stir-fry), or “dried.” The translation programs sometimes pick f**k.

So, “The plum f**ks the vegetables burns the meat” probably means “spicy stir fried meat, vegetables, and plums”

What is it with all the food abuse in Japanese restuarants? Some places rape their onions; this fine establishment bruises their fish. I bet the next place constantly tells the chicken that it’s worthless and fat and no one loves it.

There was an Assembly of God church outside a rural KY town that I used to pass frequently, where the “G” had been printed ambiguously enough that at first glance it always looked like Cod. The image of fish lined up in pews singing a hymn hasn’t left my mind since, although that was more than 20 years ago.

I recall a novel (might have been by John Cowper Powys, might have been Weymouth Sands) in which a restaurant in a seaside town puts up a sign that a character misreads as “We Are Frying God.” Turns out to be “Cod.”
