Everything else about it was good, including the fish we ordered.

Just Like In Israel!
I was totally dumbfounded at this Queens, NY, Kosher restaurant when I read the menu. It was in the sort of garbled English you'd find in restaurants in Israel. You'd think with all the expenses they'd want their restaurant to look 100% professional.
It's the Yotveta (yes, that's how it's spelled on the sign) Kosher Dairy restaurant on Union Turnpike and 188th Street, Queens, New York City.

I love that broken English, with its convoluted Ivrit grammar. I guess I just miss Israel, is all.
They're just the same Israelis. I wonder how long they've been in America. They also take the typical Israeli-Martian approach of not asking anybody anything, like to have someone with a basic command of native English to proofread the copy.
Lady-Light, come home while the gettin' is still good.
LL, I guess you miss Israel too much. I think these mistakes show such a lack of professionalism and care. It makes me wonder about them.
goyish, I needed a strictly kosher restaurant close to my elderly aunt, and of course I didn't know about the menu until I was waiting there. It's so typical of Israeli "know it all" attitude ignoring common sense like we see from Ehud Barak, nu...
I love the "try color papers"!!!
Yes, though we didn't try them. They would pass spellcheck...
Actually, what the heck are "try color papers?" I couldn't figure that one out. Must be missing something (besides Israel!)
LL, I guess you were never a remedial EFL English Teacher. The intention was to write "tricolor peppers."
"Tri-color peppers?" Hahahah. You're kidding, right?
No, I never taught English at all. I taught Hebrew!
That's what happens when you're deprived by only knowing correct language and not eating in good Israeli restaurants where you'll get lots of peppers of different colors.
Hmmmm...deprived....
I MISS RIMON!!!
Ahh, I can understand that.
