I love the little things that can go wrong when translations are done without nuance. The steak and eggs breakfast described here includes “hash brownies”, giving the breakfast option a rather different character than if it had just had the ubiquitous hash browns…

Someone tried to sell me hash brownies at the Haight Street Neighborhood Fair…
Okay, they were really green butter cookies.
Silly me, I asked my friends, “They don’t look green. Is the butter bad?”
They just shook their heads and whispered the obvious answer to me.
I was disappointed because butter cookies sounded really good to me…
