Ah, Arabic translation fails... One simply can't get enough of them. From tattoos to street-signs, Arabic-English translation blunders never fail to crack us up.

Such fails can be found in menus at some Arab restaurants, which seem to resort to the oft-inaccurate Google Translate service.

Ranging from the ridiculously hilarious to the plain disgusting, here are 10 times Arabs failed miserably at translating their menus:
