This one comes from Heironymus.
A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant, and order the ‘Chicken Surprise’.
The waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot.
Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly
and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around,
before the lid slams back down.
‘Good grief, did you see that?’ she asks her husband.
He hadn’t, so she asks him to look in the pot.
He reaches for it and again the lid rises and he sees two little eyes,
looking around before it slams down.
Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over,
explains what is happening, and demands an explanation.
‘Please sir,’ says the waiter, ‘what you order?’
The husband replies, ‘Chicken Surprise’.
Ah! So sorry,’ says the waiter,
‘I bring you…
… Peeking Duck by mistake’
Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought it was going to be something on the order of –
When they open the pot there are various items like chicken feed and things to take care of chickens, They ask the waiter about this and he replies you ordered “chicken supplies” !!
You sure it wasn’t that French dish: ” coup d’oeil chat”?
My extensive knowledge of the Mandarin makes me want to spoil it all by saying that the Chinese call the dish “Roast Duck” (Kao Yazi). But why would I want to spoil it all?
You should point out the Wade-Giles pronunciation of “Peking”, too.
This is “un coup de chef”, Toejam!
Chat = CAT.
And that’s exactly what I meant Claudia 🙂
Toejam, I meant you were the “chef” in that catchen!
“Roast Duck” at the Friars’ Club; his name was Donald.
Cheers
