Menus are ever a source of hilarity in this country. I can’t tell you how many times I have offered my editing services to correct a particularly bad menu, only to be told, “but we already have an English menu.” Usually what happens is that instead of getting a native speaker to do the translation, they just choose one of the waiters who took a two-week course in English five years ago, and get him to do the English version of the menu.
If you can read Turkish then at least you have something to refer to if you don’t understand what the English is supposed to be, but if you’re a tourist with few Turkish language skills… enjoy your dinner!

Afiyet olsun.
LOL!! Yeah, some of the English menus in this country would put “Engrish” to shame!
ps: and it’s not even supposed to be crab in the second pic but fried calamary (in Turkish at least!)

@Terry – me too! Every meal, same old crap.

@dave: no no – as the title suggests, these are from the web. They’re not mine.
