Sounds like a party.

"Happy Family with Three Delicious."

From Zaragoza, Spain

So this one comes with a bit of a story. I occasionally visited a Chinese restaurant when studying abroad in Spain. There were many menu mishaps as the menu was literally translated from Chinese into Spanish then into English. We were always amused by one particular dish, the one above. Finally, I asked the waitress what the hell it was.

"Excuse me, can you tell me what happy family with three delicious is?" I asked. Her response? "It's very, very delicious."

When I visited China, I saw this item on a couple of menus and was surprised to learn it actually is a real dish and that the "delicious" element probably refers to the spices. Whatever the explanation, I still giggle every time I see it.
