Say what?


Proofreading menus is easy pickings. Like shooting fish in a barrel. I see so many menu errors that it's hardly worth mentioning them.

But this one caught my eye today. Here's what the menu board said at a cafe where I got a cup of coffee this morning.

Today's Specials

Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

Roasted Beef and Goat

Cheese Salad

Apple Cobbler

After reading it several times, I asked the woman behind the counter about the roasted beef and goat.

She paused a moment, and then she told me that roasted beef and goat cheese salad just wouldn't all fit on one line.

Too bad. I was kind of tantalized by the thought of a roasted beef and goat entree.
