Confusing and sometimes ridiculous translations on the country's menus provoke the mirth of foreigners and even cause misunderstanding of China's dietary habits。
The delicacy (Hong Shao Shi Zi Tou) which used to be translated as "red burned lion head," is now called "braised pork ball in brown sauce" in the book。
The translation of one poultry dish (Tong Zi Ji)， sometimes translated as "chicken without sex," is now labeled "spring chicken."
Restaurants are encouraged to use the provided translations, but it will not be compulsory。
