Bizarre or unusual transliterations

[Leslie Farmer]

Menus seem to be a rich source of strange transliterations and translations
in the Czech Republic and Slovakia (as they were in the Muslim/Arab countries
where I spent 6 years as a student and journalist.)   I'd hazard a guess that
this illustrates a common language-to-language problem and therefore culinary
texts--from cafe menus to cookbooks--would be a good place to start.
