25 of the most confusing food terms, defined
Thankfully, restaurant reservation site OpenTable has made it easy to navigate these tricky terms. Together with Harris Poll, OpenTable surveyed more than 2,000 diners to find out their perspectives on confusing jargon on menus.
While 29% of surveyed diners said that menus are more complicated than they need to be, another 56% responded that they worried ordering a menu item with an unfamiliar ingredient would ruin their meal.
The surveyors also presented diners with a list of menu terms, asking them if they knew the meaning behind each one. OpenTable then defined the 25 most-misunderstood menu terms, which we've recreated here.
