When I was little we used to eat at Chinese restaurants a lot, and I would always see "hunan chicken", as in chicken cooked in the style of the Hunan province in China, on the menu. I misread it as "human chicken" and thought it was made from people. Once my grandma ordered some and i freaked out- "Don't eat it Grandma! Its people!"
