In Gulag We Eat Goulash
(Our professor tells us this story about her student visiting Hungary and going out to eat.)
Student: “I’ll have the Gulag, please.”
Waiter: “Excuse me?”
Student: “Gulag.”
Waiter: “Oh, you mean goulash. You don’t want to say that other word again.”
(Goulash is a traditional stew. A Gulag was a Soviet work camp.)
