PSA: "menu" and "menu" are two different words

The word menu translates to valikko in Finnish - valita ("to choose, select") +‎ -kko

The word menu translates to ruokalista in Finnish - ruoka (“food”) +‎ lista (“list”)

Yes, Google Maps literally calls the sidebar menu "Food List"

Bad menu, had no food on it. Well, not unless you're an ai crawler.

Oh Google, not you too ☃️

Still, the poor ai-bot tasked with Finnish translation may have been fooled by this being a 'hamburger menu'.
