    I don’t speak Hungarian, but I really hope this refers to some kind of crab stew…

  2. Rockingfreakapotamus says:

    Can I get that with whore crab dust?

  3. Droll not Troll says:

    I don’t think many Australians would eat at a place called Gastro Gardens. Gastro is what we call gastroenteritis!

  4. PoodleGroomer says:

    Cancer. Sign of the crab.

  5. pilgram says:

    hey bob relax. no need of caps.
    and you’re wrong. everybody knows that. and you forgot the question mark.

    and nobody noticed the stunning word of “poltry”. Coz’ I know only poultry.

    • JohnB says:

      “Poltry” is poultry that is on the paltry side.

      • blueJade says:

        I wondered if it had something to do with poltroons.

        • Droll not Troll says:

          Good call, since poultry and poltroons are both likely to be chicken.

          • JohnB says:

            As is the sky, which is not yellow. (Let’s see, boys and girls, if anyone gets the ref this time…)

            • Droll not Troll says:

              None yet? I had to google that one. Not sure I’ve ever heard that song.

              • JohnB says:

                Ah, I cited it in another post maybe four months ago. Guess there aren’t many Bob Dylan aficionados around any more. “Tombstone Blues,” from the album Highway 61 Revisited (1965), perhaps my favorite Dylan album of all time. The relevant verses go:

                Well, John the Baptist after torturing a thief
                Looks up at his hero the Commander-in-Chief
                Saying, “Tell me great hero, but please make it brief
                Is there a hole for me to get sick in?”

                The Commander-in-Chief answers him while chasing a fly
                Saying, “Death to all those who would whimper and cry”
                And dropping a barbell he points to the sky
                Saving, “The sun’s not yellow, it’s chicken”

                (Refrain)
                Mama’s in the factory, she ain’t got no shoes
                Daddy’s in the alley, he’s lookin’ for food,
                And I’m in the kitchen with the tombstone blues

    • TheCannyScot says:

      I thought we were supposed to drop those Us on this side of the Pond…

      • JohnB says:

        Not always. From colour and favour, yes. I don’t know if it has to do with the “r” or with it being the first syllable, but right offhand the only other two-syllable word with -oul in the first syllable I can think of is coulomb, which is hardly a good example. Ghoulish is a little better. Yourself, there’s one right on point. Maybe you only drop the “U” on second or final syllables.

  6. pilgram says:

    they were just cowards to check the dictionary. maybe that’s the connekshun :)

  7. Chobin says:

    At first, I read ‘Ovenbaked’ as ‘Overbaked’…

  8. chatmort says:

    It’s : À la carte not A’la Carte

  9. adam434 says:

    At least it is cheap…

  10. zsomje says:

    in hungarian there’s the same word for crab and cancer
    obviously they didn’t know which english word to choose

    p.s. the ironic thing is the original site is called homar.blog.hu, and homár means lobster

  11. hee hee says:

    From: About.com (if you feel them to be a reliable source… but I have heard similar explanations)

    “The word cancer came from the father of medicine, Hippocrates, a Greek physician. Hippocrates used the Greek words, carcinos and carcinoma to describe tumors, thus calling cancer “karkinos.” The Greek terms actually were words to describe a crab, which Hippocrates thought a tumor resembled. Although Hippocrates may have named “Cancer,” he was certainly not the first to discover the disease. The history of cancer actually begins much earlier.”

    • JohnB says:

      I must say that they had an absolutely brilliant insight when they realized that just because Hippocrates named cancer, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t there before. And here all these years I’d been thinking Hippocrates INVENTED cancer, and wondering why his name was so revered, whereas I cursed his name in the same breath as the people who invented tooth decay and horseflies.

  12. prsiii says:

    is this what is killing /b/?

  13. dr handle says:

    Hey, it could be that Chef Crab is preparing the ragout! He’s a dab hand, er, claw at multitasking in the kitchen, so preparing ragout and stuffing a chicken at the same time would be no challenge at all for him.

  14. SG says:

    Mmmmmm! Gastro Gardens!

  15. laconejita says:

    Don’t worry there’s no need to kill ourselfs. We just have to eat the tuna with cancer. Death will be slow and painful

  16. scott says:

    i don’t why anyone even noticed the cancer. bacon is the obvious choice here. now, if it was bacon wrapped cancer with a side of bacon, we would have a different story.

  17. Nema says:

    It’s pretty much roast tuna with a dill crab casserole, not the cancer. :D

    Isten, áld meg a magyart!

  18. magyargyerek says:

    lolz hungary pwns XD (szerintem ez 1 cigány vendéglő)

  19. I don't like my random avatar says:

    The French is also wrong. XD
