The char 臊 in the menu is an abbreviation. It should be 肉臊. Similar to when you hear a kid asks "Can I have some Coke, please?" You know he means Coca Cola, not Cocaine.
The char 臊 can mean smell of decaying meat (or smell of ammonia/urine) in a diff context. It is unfortunate nobody checked the translation before putting it on the menu =S.
Not even on a double dog dare.
