Ginger Asian Bistro – Local Menu Typo Champion
Food Service Typos #3 and #4
I almost hate to post these for fear that the next printing of Ginger’s menu will remove them, and a great typo can be such a source of delight. I should also add that there is no correlation at Ginger between the food and the occasional menu hiccups. All the food to date has been excellent, but even the best food rarely makes me chuckle. Certain typos do.
“Ceviche” isn’t the easiest word to spell, and an internet search suggests that “cevice” has almost become an alternate spelling. But those dang collective singulars like “shrimp” will kill you. Then there is the “slice baby vegetable” and the random exclamation points included throughout! the menu with no! discernible pattern.
“Chom Mein” sounds like it could be a soft noodle dish designed for anyone who forgot to bring their dentures.
Yet rather than face the accusation that all I documented photographically at Ginger were typos, let me also include a shot of a stellar roll: the Black Jack ($12). Inside is spicy tuna and crab. On top is it albacore and (as you might observe) quite a bit of creativity that included shaved radish, slivered scallions, and sesame seeds. The light vinaigrette on the plate added another unexpected and welcome note to the dish.
