Why would a restaurant use separate menus?

The majority of Chinese restaurants in Manchester have two separate menus, one for the Chinese and one for everybody else. The latter features all of the Anglicised dishes that have come to form the impression of what many people constitute as Chinese food, when in actual fact these dishes were developed to gently introduce Western taste buds to Eastern cooking. It appears that the Two Menu system prevails mainly due to an underlying fear that the public will not like what they order, or moreover will be put off by the unconventional phrasing. In other words: they don’t think we can handle it. Many members of the community, including restaurant managers, will agree that there has been little innovation since the first boom of Chinese restaurants and takeaways. Restaurants now face the complex task of catering for an ever demanding, ever curious public. Their identity no longer swings between the rigid and dated ideas of ‘English’ and ‘Cantonese’, because what does it really mean to be either of those things anymore? But one thing is for sure; the future of Chinese restaurants depends on their ability to move forward and respond to the demand of modern diners, this includes committing to providing the same experience for everybody... Or if in doubt take a Chinese friend along.
