translation question

[Kjetil Rå Hauge]

>One of my favorite funny translations:  "wet 
>sheep" for "hydraulic ram" ("gidravlicheskii 
>taran") -- mentioned years ago by Ned Keenan.

On the menu of the otherwise excellent La 
Bruschetta on boul. Shipchenski prohod in Sofia, 
not far from BAN, "zapecheni kartofi" is 
translated as "constipated potatoes"...
