last. this is so funny lolomgzomgzomgzomgz RAPE.
haha. I didn’t know that grew leaves.
they must be difficult to harvest.
They must grow on the tentacles we see in Anime movies
Post Fail.
Rape also is – a plant, Brassica napus, of the mustard family, whose leaves are used for food for hogs, sheep, etc., and whose seeds yield rape oil.
don’t be such a buzzkill
Buzzkill? Please. This post is approximately as humorous as posting a pic of peanut butter with a caption asking where the butter is.
I suppose it’s funnier for the remaining 1% of the population who haven’t heard of this common spice. But for those people, you can just flash a shiny object and they’d laugh.
“as humorous as posting a pic of peanut butter with a caption asking where the butter is.”
Excellent analogy.
heh heh u said “anal”
(is anal-ogy the study of butts?)
Are you stupid?
Actually, that’s pretty funny.
Actually, its pretty sad. Captain Weiner = Douche
Rape seed oil can also be used as bio diesel.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAHHHHAAAAA!! It’s so SHINY!!
BWAAAAHAAAHAHAAAHAAA!
Shinyshinyshinyshiny!!
…rape isn’t a SPICE…
Rape is the BEST spice.
…or is it just too hot for you?
lol!
Sorry lollie, but your ignorance is showing. Rape seed is a spice and you can plant it in your garden to grow. You are only thinking of rape as an action. Many words have different meanings but are still spelled the same way. Maybe if you picked up a book instead of just reading comics……
Um, achef? In this post, the rape is a green. …You know, like turnip greens? Greens are vegetables. Duh.
I didn’t mean the verb, silly pony.
And for the record, I work in a comic/records store. How ironic is your lame retort.
It would be ironic if you worked in a book store, learn the rules
For the most part, in the west, Rape is grown for seed only, the leaves being used as cattle feed. Thus, while not Engrish per se, it’s an example of the vile things Johnny Foreigner eats… and thus obviously Xenophobially funny…

don’t be such an idiot
o.O Rape oil?
Dont let the Americans hear that!
I rest my case.
Thank you! But the oil, formerly known as rapeseed oil, not rape oil, has now been renamed canola to appease ruffled sensibilities.
I have rape in a spray can?
I have a whole bottle of rape sitting on my kitchen counter!
Close, but not quite correct. Canola is a very specific breed of rapeseed bred in the 1970’s in Canada. The name Canola stems from ‘CA’nadian ‘O’il, ‘L’ow ‘A’cid
Thanks! Didn’t know all that.
Yeah, rape seed is a fairly common item
Is “soggy” supposed to be a reference to vaginal fluid? Not funny, really.
Anyway, the rape plant is the same as the canola plant, isn’t it?
Neil, yes, it is. In the US the FDA allows rape seed oil to be sold under the name canola oil. This is the only food product that they allow to be sold under another name, for obvious reasons.
Actually, “red snapper” is used for all kinds of other fish in the rockfish family, because “red snapper” sounds much better than rockfish. This may be more of a restaurant issue, but there are plenty of foods that are sold strangely.
Along that line, shark appears in some fish markets as “dogfish.”
And in the American south, “snapper” has another connotation which would bring this thing full circle.
LOL still notfunny.
Dog fish is actually a species of shark. Though you shouldn’t eat any that grow over 24″ in length as they accumulate mercury in their tissues.
Actually, canola is one particular strain of rape that contains less urushiol, and is therefore considered safe for human consumption (indians have been eating the other stuff for centuries, but it makes the FDA nervous).
Canola is derived from rapeseed. canola has been bred to not have as much sulfur in it. (sulfur in the brassica family is what gives some people gass when they eat cabbage or broccoli). this helps with the quality and taste of the oil. canola oil takes much less processing than rapeseed oil.
rape leaves taste a lot like spinach.
Rape is just a version of broccoli. Quite bitter, but really good.
ive allwayz found rape rather bitter myself actually………
Comment win!
Protect your mouth with condom!
Don’t you mean dental dam?
I’m not going to comment on this one at all.
I’m not going to comment on your comment.
Oh, wait. I screwed up, didn’t I?
I agree that this is kind of a fail. Who doesn’t know about the plant rape? And it’s not really ambiguous. The translation is correct. I’ve seen some Engrish that had “rape” in it in a much more humorous way. Just referring to the plant called rape isn’t humorous on its own.
I’m also kind of bothered that “rape” is censored in the description. Even if you’re reading it as the sexual assault and not the plant, it’s not an obscenity. You hear newscasters say it all the time. Making it taboo to even say the word puts a stigma on the victims.
Double fail.
Absolutely agree with you. Especially the part about the censorship.
I haven’t heard of it…
Ok, I didn’t think of it when I read it…
I have to agree here.. even our local grocery stores (east coast USA) have rape leaves available in the produce department. Bottom line is.. yea, this can be funny in the grocery, but it isn’t Engrish. It’s English. This post is an off topic fail.
I agree. Most Engrish that I see on here tend to use rape as a verb. Like I’ve seen a menu on here that said something like; “Rape of the head or chicken.” If it said something like that, it would definitely be an Engrish.
Yeah, “rape of the head or chicken” would be funny. And Engrishy. XD
I told my mom how much I hated spinach! She never listened to me!!
I hate rape more than spinach!
Ask for rape instead.
Amusingly enough, rape is a plant. It’s in the mustard family. technically, this is completely right.
of course, I’m not going to go to a grocery store and get rape, so it’s still funny.
Yeah, sorry to say this one ain’t funny. Rape is a plant. Shows the intelligence of the poster, perhaps?
‘plant rape’.. Thats one I’ve NEVER heard of and a thought I don’t want to entertain *punctures eardrums with a rusty railroad spike*
Agree with previous posters – aside from being 1. unfunny and 2. not a mistranslation, the title “And You Thought Spinach Was Soggy” is pretty offensive.
Not to mention that fresh spinach isn’t soggy.
RAPE IS FUNNY.I IN BEDROOM RIGHT NOW<RAPING BITCH AND EATING RAPE AT THE SAME TIME.ONE IS SWEET,THE OTHER IS BITTER,BETCHYA CAN”T GUESS WHICH ONE!
again, rape is a plant. this is not a fail….only a fail for the person who posted it, seeing as how they didn’t realize that it’s an actual plant *headdesk*
AND WAS PASSED ON BY EF.COM. You must remember that.
Remember,every time a person is raped,a new rape leaf sprouts from the earth,like a glorious raped phoenix!
And Rapists have to pluck these leaves as punishment if arrested
