Eat Your Words - A guide to Menu English

Eat Your Words - A guide to Menu English: "Menus are the Pavlov's bell of eating out. They are a literature of control. Menu language, with its hyphens, quotation marks, and random outbursts of foreign words, serves less to describe food than to manage your expectations." From Slate.com. Finally, a fun article about words used to describe food. I can't tell you how many meals I have eaten because the words were so enticing, or amusingly phony. There are some excellent links to menus at the bottom of the article. And, if you're really crazed by food, be sure to check out Saute Wednesday which has an amazing number of food-related links on their right hand navigation bar.
