A student of mine from Taiwan translated a recipe for me:
"boil the noodles until they are feeble-minded".( Some confusion with the word soft/limp.)We have a joke in our house now about "feeble-minded noodles".

When we were holidaying with friends in Kefalonia a few years ago, one of the items on the starters menu was

"Fried aborigines"

As you can imagine, this caused much hilarity.
