Sometimes you see signs that have been translated into German, only not quite translated correctly. This can have funny results. Take this example seen on Lanzarote:
The correct translation would be “ein halbes gebratenes Hähnchen”, ie. one half of a cooked chicken. Unfortunately a “Halb Gebraten Hahnchen” means one half-cooked chicken…
Calle Lanzarote is a blog with pictures and information from the island of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.
It is intended as a collection of information on places of interest, things to day and tips on where or where not to got out to eat.
Feel free to comment on the entries or to make other suggestions!
