Have you ever looked at a menu and thought, "Wait, what does that mean?" Do you know the difference between flammable and inflammable? In this podcast episode, we're breaking down the most confusing words in English that are found in food labels and restaurant menus. We are covering common words that don't always mean what you think they do.

From shelled peanuts (does that mean with or without the shell?) to pitted olives, boneless vs. deboned chicken, and even garnished dishes, we're clearing up the confusion with a little humor and some insider restaurant knowledge.
