A while back I’ve mocked our work canteen for a dubious and pointless sign they’d put up to describe a dish. It turns out that unintentionally funny signs are their forte.

I’m hereby starting what promises to be a recurring theme involving the stuff our canteen comes up with. Whenever I notice one of their odd signs I’ll take a picture and share it right here for your enjoyment.

Also, taking pictures of canteen signs is as close as I’ll ever get to my lifelong dream of becoming a paparazzi. Here are the latest two:

Most of the time our canteen deals with pretty ordinary types of chicken. However, every once in a while a true monster of a chicken has to be wrestled by the whole of canteen staff. That’s when we get a sign like this:

Beast Of Chicken, Stuff our canteen writes

Godzilla's got nothing on those poultry beasts!

Also, sometimes the canteen manages to set my expectations way too high:

Pies Soup, Stuff our canteen writes

Soup with pies?! That's genius!

Imagine my disappointment when all I get in the end is some basic pea soup instead. Way to get my hopes up, canteen! I can only wish that they were talking about a legitimate pie floater.

Have you read these yet? They're neat:

  1. Not only is the chicken a real beast, but the peas are so masculine they get only one “e” when puréed. And the potatoes must undergo some auspiciously important “Roasting” for it to be capitalized! My real question though is, how many “Todays” does this special apply to, since it’s obviously not just “Today’s” special.

     
  2. Keep these posts about your canteen coming. Too funny!
