What seems honey is probably bee puke.
Also, I would be interested by the difference between blasting powder, third-like explosion and explos on belly. Powerful stuff.

After all that, I imagine Beijing City would be toast. So I guess babequed is logical.

Explos on belly isn’t very satisfying, but it least it comes out quickly.

Give it an hour after ingestion, then the explosion occurs…

gigot = Leg of lamb or veal suitable for roasting.
Therefore: Gigot sands = lamb sandwich.
At this rate, I will make sense of the whole menu, in, say, 300 years.

Sounds like a lumberjack restaurant – they have blasting power and they eat trees! (wood to be… still can’t decipher that one)

What seems honey?… That bee “byproduct” didn’t sell well with the more “unpolite” name…

Clearly this is in China, or there would be diet-coke bbq as well.

“Barbeque Speculation” … and I thought “mystery meat” was scary enough.

I am a native Chinese speaker.

Only two items there were translated roughly correctly.
“It seems to be honey,” and the last one.

However, I have no idea what kind of food, “It seems to be honey” is.

“Wood to be” 木須, I think you call it musu in American pseudo-Chinese restaurants?
It’s cassia, a kind of flower, related to cinnamon. The dish was originally called egg noodles, but it was popular with the eunuchs in the Ming dynasty court, and they were very sensitive about the word ‘eggs’ so the name was changed to cassia noodles. No kidding.

“Hmm… I dunno, it looks more like it’s been sautéed than barbecued. What do you think, dear?”.

Third-like explosion. Because with all the blasting powder and Explos on bellies, they kind of lost count.
