The Gallery of Things That Didn't Translate So Well

   Travelling through foreign lands, we've come across more than a few things that made us stop and laugh...

FOODS:

Cock Soup

Anyone care for spicy cock soup.  Note in corner that this is authentic Jamaican cock, although we bought it in the Bahamas

 

Crachi Bar

Here's a tasty pair from the Dominican Republic:  a yummy crachi bar (yes it's pronounced like "crotch" with an i at the end.  And how about this powerful sports drink/wine cooler?

 

Yuky

  If you're wondering what to serve junior while you sip on your "La Fuerza" sparkling wine, how about this Venezuelan treat.  Kids just love anything Yuky.

 

Choki

   The funny thing about Chokis is that they really are just the perfect size and shape for a kid to choke on. 

Signs:

 

Spiritual Rum

    I'm not sure what religion Verna is, but if liquor is considered spiritual then I'd like to join the congregation, please.  (From the island of Carriacou)

 

 

Mi Gordita

 

   Latino women seem so much more comfortable with their curves than American women.  In one Venezuelan mall was the store "Mi Gordita" which tranlsates to English something like "I'm a Fat Chick".  And yes, it is a store for plus size women's clothing. 

 

 

VERY steep hill ahead

   Seen on Niue Island.  It was a rental car anyway, so what the heck...we kept driving. 

 

Other Stuff:

    Paradise & Hell facial tissues

     Paradise and Hell are in you....which will come out when you blow your nose?  (found in Tonga)
