Mis-used Words

Have you ever glance through a restaurant menu and seen a few interesting words?
Like Wild Mushroom Soup, Fresh Cream, Special Homemade Sauce, etc
Wouldn't you start to wonder what does it actually means?
Let's go through one by one!


1) WILD MUSHROOM SOUP
-
I've seen this often on the Menu countless time
- It's misleading as Wild Mushroom are really expensive
- Most restaurant uses Cultivated Mushroom like Portabello, Shitake, Button, Swiss Brown, Enoki, Oyster
- Unless it Taste really wonderful Mushroomy and it's expensive. Then I'm sure it's Wild Mushroom Soup
- Otherwise it's just a Con job

- So if you ever visit any not so premium restaurant, don't be surprised that you will see them using "Wild Mushroom Soup" without putting in Wild Mushroom in

2) FRESH CREAM 
- Try this, Go to any cake shop ask them what's inside the cake
- Most likely they will tell you it's FRESH CREAM See it for yourself, Click Here!
- It's not even Cream in the first place it's ARTIFICIAL CREAM! Click for more info
- Artifical Cream is made out of Hydrogenated Oil  *The Superhero below is known as Cream Hero

- Unless you're paying for a more premium price for your cake, you are eating Oil, I mean Fresh Cream!
- Even if you use Real Cream, after keeping at the Display Counter for few days, would you still call it FRESH ?

3) Special *Is it really Special?
- Special Sauce, Soup, Dressing, Chicken, Drink, What else?
- I'm sure you have experience this before:
1. Order a Dish with Special Sauce/Dressing
2. Anticipating something Special while waiting
3. Dish served, Special Sauce/Dressing look & taste the same as those bought in Supermarket
4. Disappointed, yet finish your meal!
- Fortunately this doesn't happen often!
