ihatesprouts just reminded me
i have a deep loathing of pub menus. let's forget for a moment the inability to spell words like lasagne and colcannon, although this does irritate me. no, the thing that makes me want to smash the menu board over the landlord's head is when i see this:

roast potatoe's
poppadom's
