Dishes with quirky or confusing names often end up trending on social media, and the latest culprit is a dish called “chicken fried rice veg.”

A partial menu screenshot describing it as “fragrant basmati rice cooked with chicken and vegetables” has gone viral on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.

The oxymoron of a vegetarian fried rice featuring chicken left users in splits.

Many joked that maybe the chicken itself was vegetarian, while others compared the dish’s identity crisis to the infamous line: “I love you… as a friend.”

Foodies also shared similar menu mix-ups — like a chicken bhuna being marked green for vegetarian. This isn’t the first time restaurant menus have caused chuckles online.

Earlier, a woman in Hyderabad went viral after posting hilarious misspellings of Karnataka’s beloved bisi bele bath on a food app — ranging from “Bissbila Bath” and “Bisi Bela Bhath” to the completely offbeat “Bismilla Bath.”

Clearly, when it comes to food, one wrong word can turn a dish into a meme.
