A Menu Lost in Translation

On this first day of April, I'd I’d like to propose a  special dinner menu composed entirely of authentic Polish specialities. All of these dishes have been gleaned from actual English-language menus of various restaurants across Poland. Enjoy!
Oops, it looks like someone used a  machine translator to render the Polish menu into English!
Believe it or not, even some relatively upscale restaurants do this without even having the menu proof-read by someone who actually speaks English. The results are sometimes hilarious, sometimes just confusing, and some are downright off-putting to any visiting foreign tourist. But I kid you not: all of the items in the menu above are inspired by real-life mistranslations which found their way into actual bills of fare.
So, have you figured out what they were supposed to mean? You can type your guesses as comments to [https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=942768843077973&id=228322137855984&m_entstream_source=timeline&paipv=1 this Facebook post.] Unless you speak Polish, then you don't don’t need to guess; but in that case, please don't don’t spoil the fun!
