A bit of humour

Possibly not. We have seen dog on the menu in China. Back in our early visits from 1981 on it was not uncommon. there were some other things we declined to eat. One dish in Xian had no translation but when we asked were told it was mouse..
Those things are becoming much less common. there is a yearly dog festival which is steadily declining in popularity.

Appreciate it's a local "delicacy" in some parts of the world, but surely not on an international flight....?

The menu item, however, was not dog, but imported dog food. Completely different.

If you are travelling around Vietnam, hidden but in plain sight as you walk around. Restaurants that smell amazing as you walk past with an extensive menu but a large sign outside saying "thịt cay" - every dish is likely dog meat but prepared in different ways.

Not so common in Korea nowadays but used to be restaurants with puppies in a cage - pick one and the chef would prepare a dish for you (similar to fish in a tank in a Chinese restaurant)

Imported French?

Surely that's a typo.... (but I'm struggling to think what the correct text could/should be??)

Imported Exported - perhaps?

OK I googled the China Eastern mistranslation - its supposed to be "Imported Cured Meat with Ocra"

Meat

....still very vague, isn't it?

An Indian, a Muslim and a lawyer were on a road trip when their car breaks down. Fortunately there's a farmhouse nearby, so they go and knock on the door to see if they could stay the night.

"You boys can stay," says the farmer, "but I've only got beds for two. One of you is going to have to sleep in the barn." The Indian shrugs and picks up his pillow and blanket and heads to the barn.

Ten minutes later, there's a knock at the door. It's the Indian. "There's a cow in the barn, I can't sleep there - my religion prohibits it." So the Muslim shrugs and picks up his pillow and blanket and heads to the barn.

Ten minutes after that, there's a knock at the door. It's the Muslim. "There's a pig in the barn, I can't sleep there - my religion prohibits it." So the lawyer shrugs and picks up his pillow and blanket and heads to the barn.

Ten minutes later, there's a knock at the door. It's the cow and the pig.
