Early autumn...

Lamb roast beef

Spotted in a restaurant in Malmö: "Lammrostbiff". Time to ask the obvious question -is it beef, or is it lamb?

"It's lamb roast beef". We're none the wiser then.

Turns out lammrostbiff is lamb sirloin or chump - the "rostbiff" implies the cut, not the animal.

Reminds me of a trip to eastern europe, where the english description of a menu item reads "Chef's special turkey".

"What is the turkey?", I ask the waiter.

"Is like... you know, big chicken."
