Dishes with unexpected, unusual or misspelt names often go viral on social media. Many times, they spark funny comparisons and foodie memes. Recently, a dish titled "chicken fried rice veg" has gone viral. A partial screenshot of a menu listing this bizarrely named food item is making the rounds on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. The beginning of the description, visible in the image, explains that it consists of "fragrant basmati rice cooked with chicken and vegetables." The concept of a veg fried rice with chicken seemed to amuse many people online.

X users shared different 'theories' about why the dish was named so. A common (sarcastic one) was that the chicken was a vegetarian. Other people made hilarious comparisons. For instance, they likened it to the declaration, "I love you as a friend". A few shared similar examples of confusing dishes or mistaken categorisation on restaurant menus, such as a chicken bhuna being marked in green for vegetarian items.
