Google Translate - you have so much to answer for!

  • French: fine
  • Spanish: fine
  • English: clearly the output of Google Translate!

Staying in a hotel in Lourdes, we noticed that the multilingual menu included 'Hurried trout'. 

Ignoring the obvious fast food reference, we checked the French version and discovered that our fast fish was in fact truite pressé, something like a fish terrine.

Chatting with the owner at the front desk he cheerfully admitted that he had blindly trusted Googe Translate, and was as amused as us at the image of hurried trout. 

He was amused;  madame, however, was not.
