One of my interests in France is to read the English translations on restaurant menus. One of my favorites was a Parisian restaurant that shall remain nameless that we encountered in September. The English menu had on it several amusing items but the best by far was one called "Ocean spine". No one at our table had the foggiest idea what that might be. Since I always request the French menu, I found out that it was a brochette with seafood. Where they got the English translation, I will never know since I did not want to insult them by pointing out the silly translation. And here is the ocean spine.
