Fancy Food Descriptions

I love how chefs like to embellish their dishes with over-the-top descriptive language.
My brother is a young chef, and he did this for the first time the other day, so I offered a "layman's" translation, then offered my own embellishments.
I ask you,"What did I eat?":
Filet of chicken tenderloin and a tripe encased venison and porcine emulsion served within a spiced pilaf of long grain rice.
This should be pretty easy.
I'd like to hear how some of you would describe stuff like hamburgers, hot dogs, roast beef and mashed potatoes, etc. Could be interesting.

Friend of mine got a review for his restaurant in the advocate. One of the spicy shrimp recipes was described as "succulent shrimp swimming in a gourmet blend of sauces."
We laughed it off because all we could picture was the heavyset Mexican grill guy in the kitchen carelessly tossing shrimp and generic hot sauce around.

Friend of mine posted a picture of a dish he created on facebook the other day. The description was quite over the top. He's also the owner of a new restaurant in New Orleans though...

Way to church it up and say nothing. A blend of sauces? Doesn't a blend of sauces become a sauce in and of itself? WTF?
And BTW... Swimming in sauces does not wet my appetite, but I guess if it's "Gourmet" then that's different.
