			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two brochures arrived simultaneously from two Indian restaurants located at the same address. One had decent copy editing. The other didn&#8217;t. Its earnest, well-intentioned descriptions are notable for their erraticness; I have no idea why a &#8220;Chicken Tikka Omelette&#8221; requires elaboration (&#8221;Chicken tikka comes with omelette&#8221;), while other, more vague, items, such as &#8220;Soup&#8221; do not.</p>
<p>Much of the shoddy grammar and phrasing quirks I forgive. This isn&#8217;t the work of a native English speaker who grew up unable to communicate effectively in his or her native tongue, but that of someone for whom English is a second language. The overuse of &#8220;succulent&#8221; I blame on indoctrination into the overdone world of food adjectives in lieu of actual description.</p>
<p>Typos are a different kettle of fish, so to speak, even when their intended spelling is obvious. Thus we have spent multiple moments in the last day talking about seabusses.</p>
<p>The seabuss is &#8220;stuffed with fragrant fresh herbs, and gently steamed toabsorb [sic] the fragrance of the herbs&#8221;. I suppose that means they don&#8217;t often take aboard non-herb passengers, there being no space for them. Perhaps schools of seabusses steam themselves over deep sea volcanic vents for spa-like refreshment. Perhaps they go to the garage at the end of the day for a tune-up.</p>
<p>In any event, seabusses sound like they&#8217;d be too large for my plate, even if they do only cost £12.95.</p>
