From the "All Your Base Are Belong to Us" Department

From time to time, I see a usage of English so inspiringly bad that I've got to capture it. In case you have no idea what the blog entry title is referring to, that's probably
the most famous and funniest online example of bad English.

First example, Vegan Burdock Ramen. Quoth the preparation instructions:

  1. Clean a middle, size of bowl with warm water put rice flour and spice in bowl.
  2. Add boiled water in bowl and put cover on it after 3-5minutes, mix rice flour properly.
  3. Another method to cook which makes a special taste. Add water 600c.c. into pan, put rice flour and spice into pan when water is boiling it will be ready after 3minutes of boiling.
Some deep thoughts to ponder:
  • Wouldn't a dirty bowl work just as well?
  • If we are starting with the rice flour, why are the instructions for making the rice noodles missing?
  • How are we going to boil all that water in a pan?
