Elaborate Bacon Goes Straight to Your Heart

Another amazing moment in garbled translation: Elaborate Bacon. Even better is the tagline: "Piece in heart! Fragrance in Mouth." Yes, after savoring the fragrance of the elaborate bacon in my mouth, that piece is going directly to my heart.

Racist and offensive no matter where you come from.

@DeperateChefsWives: I'm confused or perhaps ignorant, though very curious: what's offensive about this?

was it any good? was there a depth of flavor that regular bacon lacks?

racist and offensive? no.
delightful comparative example of linguistics? yes.

My Mom (Mama Lee!) brings this translation. The English isn't very far off from the Chinese; it just sounds funnier to people accustomed to English:
After "Yurun", it is the Chinese name with similar pronunciation; it literally means "Rain Moist."
The Chinese under "Elaborate Bacon" is a literal translation; it says "elaborately prepared bacon."
The Chinese part of "Piece in heart Fragrance in mouth" is a bit different; it says, "Every piece is prepared with care, every mouth is left fragrant." When Chinese use "heart," it really means, "with care."
@lethargarian: That's a good way to put it. :) I hope Engrish Funny would agree.

I LOL'd, and I'm a native speaker. No offense taken here.

The term "Engrish" was used, but has since been changed to "garbled translation". Much better, SE.
