Point Of Grammar On A Menu

[robsamui]

Hi fellas.

Mooching around the resorts and restaurants as I do I came across this yesterday. I found it confusing. I'd like to know how you - the public - read the meaning.

If you saw the following on a menu how would you interpret it? My feeling is that visitors to Samui (most people really) would be confused by it.

QUOTE:

"The XXX offers several exciting set menus in three individual types of cuisine. Firstly, there’s the ‘XXX Dinner Menu’ presenting three 2-course sets, each course with a choice of four dishes."

If you read this exactly what would you expect? i) to see four different dishes on your table? Or ii) to find yourself selecting 2-courses from 4 different dishes?

Answers on a postcard to ...

Cheers!

Maybe a canidate for "Kitchen Nightmares".

I also find it funny when foreign restaurants also offer Thai food.

Italian and Thai food. What's up with that?

Is it perhaps you may enjoy a good lasagna while your girl can enjoy her chicken pad krapao or somtum?

Simple. 2 courses each of which has 4 choices.

Three sets?? Anyone for tennis?

So - how many dishes would you then be served with altogether? Two or four?

Likewise - how many dishes would you then be served with altogether? Two or four?

You have two courses. Each course you choose one of four dishes.

I think.....stop confusing things!

2 dishes, where's the confusion?

[itishothere]

So, there are SEVERAL set menus. THREE different cuisines. Each menu has TWO courses, and each course has FOUR choices.

To be honest, it sounds pretty much like the average 20 page menu from just about any eating hole on the island.

the question remains, if it is possible to change from 2 courses with 4 choices per course to 3 courses with...ahm...2,6666666666 choices per course.

Naturally, the 0,6666666666 in this case would stand for food which is not 100% food quantitative equals 1, but 6666666666%-wise. Hope, they have that in their menu.

Or if it is possible to change to 1 course 1 choice home delivery Sunday Indian meal as much as you want Penang style++?
