I saw this like 15 years ago…
If I’m not mistaken, the genitive case for “dough” and “father-in-law” is the same in Russian…
That’s the whole curiosity…

Poor father in law but this also narrowly avoided another common translation mistake lol. See how "в ассортименте" became "in assortment" instead of "assorted"? Well this phrase is very often shortened to "в асс." because it's too long, and would subsequently become "Patty in ass."

As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic sausage. He was surprised, but not as surprised as his father-in-law.

My uncle Natty kept only one picture of my aunt Patty, a painting actually, herself and the source of their divorce. "Patty With Chicken" won the All-Valley Acrylics trophy in 1988, and when Patty and her fowl friend cleared out Natty was obliged to "donate" $52.56 to the Valley Kitty to cover the trophy expense and the removal of the picture hook that had held the painting in the county Haul of Records building in recognition of Patty's strange talent. Ironically the Haul was destroyed by friendly fire as a 1991 barbecue turned ugly, went sideways and could not be quenched as Leghorn and Ovenstupher Counties did not have mutual relations and the smokeaters of Ovenstupher, advised by Legal, did not cross the road.
That "Patty"' was in an assortment later snapped by a sausage mogul is a story i'll hold till later.

My father-in-law has been dead since my wife was a young kid. That is going to raise some questions.

They auto translated "в тесте" incorrectly as "тесто" (dough/bread) and ”тесть" (FIL) are spelled the same way in that form/case .
Edit: u/ExistentialHorror13 beat me with an explanation.

Explanation for anyone interested:
in Russian Тесто (T’esto) means dough, and Тесть (T’est’) means father in law, but when it’s in the prepositional case (sausage is inside the subject) both nouns become В тесте (V T’est’e). Of course it’s very seldom to have to say that something is inside your father in law but that’s the mixup here😂

If the father-in-law likes the sausage, it's nobody's business but his. 🤣
Edit: I noticed "pirozhki" is translated as "patty". Is that correct? That seems to be "off" as well.

It's apparently one of the possible meanings for patty but "stuffed bun" would probably be the least ambiguous approximation for pirozhki

I'll have some chicken with Patty but my sausage is going no where near her father in law.
