I've read these before in several sites, but of course they're still funny...
"Try traditional Finnish pee soup" is probably the most hilarious one...

SITE LOCALIZER | Who would pay this much for eating Salt Cold? | Mar 11, 2004 |
This is what I read from a menu in a restorant in Barcelona about a month ago:

TOPIC STARTER | Another menu error | Mar 11, 2004 |
When I was in Cyprus I saw a sign that said
Carlick soyp and soyp of the day.
Both gave me a chuckle.
I bought a book called English spoken here that shows incorrectly translated signs in various countries, it was worth a laugh.

I laughed until I cried. I have seen similar ones before, but this really made me laugh so hard, that I scared my cats!
Thanks!

SITE LOCALIZER | Recently found menu treats in Lisieux, Normandy | Apr 5, 2007 |
One of the menu items was 'sliced twerp with apple' — they'd adpoted the slang meaning of 'andouill' (a type of sausage, in fact!)
also one dish wam '...with a Normandy lady' (à la Normande)
might have been unexpectedly tasty, that one!
The rest was equally bad, I particularly liked 'moulds tee-shirts' (moules marinières), but the list is too long even to post here!
