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”

    Why would you want a map for anything other than food?

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

          You can eat anything at least once.

            Yes, certain singles meals can feed you for the rest of your life.

    Oh Google, not you too ☃️

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