Lost in Translation

I’ve just been reading about empanadas, a Portuguese pie. This involved my standard internet search, and with one press of the translation button I had a page of pictures and information. I think I’m slightly better informed as a result, though it’s a sketchy article and the translation isn’t great.

I only mention it because of this gem.

“in England there is a pie of chicken and mushrooms , and the famous Melton Mowbray Pie, stuffed with minced pork and collagen.”

Not sure what to say about that, but it’s definitely not going to win any prizes for copywriting.
