The Kazrish Awards

One of my favorite things about travel to Kazakhstan is the English menus at some restaurants. I have a standing policy to order the most humorous-sounding menu item whenever I go out to eat in Kazakhstan. So from this recent trip, here are the award winners:

2nd place goes to "French friend potato lobules with spicery." I loves me some spicery.

Also interesting on that shot is the curiously brittle porridge... I'm not sure how that works; I didn't order it. The overall winner for this trip was, hands-down, the "Bonk in rack."

And what, exactly, is a Bonk in rack, you ask?

Turns out its a pork chop. Very tasty.


Honorable mention goes to the M&M's I got at the grocery store. Other than the name itself, there's only one thing in the Latin alphabet on the packaging:

Yeah! ROCK ON!

"The Kazrish Awards" Comments

Is Comic Sans the official Kazakh typeface? Even the M&M bag has some Comic Cyrillic on it.

Mmm Meat's balls (now with cabbage).

Bonkin' rack! Bonkin' rack!

Maybe there should be a site sorta like Engrish.com for Kazakhstan.
