Some examples that might help you with your memorising..
Salad... Sailor lad, wearing a lettuce bib, cucumber shoes, tomato earings mopping the deck with a parsley mop.
Cashews... imagine chewing on cash or wearing shoes made out of cash.
Carrot... car rotting,
Ceasor salad dressing... ceasor standing stark naked getting dressed up with salad assortments.
Smoked salmon- fish smoking a cigarette.
The above is a play on words. The idea is to let go and have fun with learning it. Remember to review each list for 3 to 5 minutes checking how well you remember from time to time. Anything that you don't remember you just need ot improve the image and sound effects, a squeeze of lemon could well be an image of a lemon sneezing as a hand squeezes it hear the loud sneeze in your imagination as well. Allow it to build, you'll find that once you got the foundation you'll be able to remember the other stuff easier.
If you get frustrated while trying to learn the menu... get up, get yourself a glass of water, go outside and do some deep breathing exercises to relax yourself (just breathe 
). Then when you feel relaxed return to your project. As for the water... feel free to drink it anytime.

. Umm I sorta combined all your ideas and it is working but slowly. I can't cook every item, that would be too costly and time consuming. I have drawn every item on the starter, soup and salad menu and then I drew every ingredient on them. I seem to be able to remeber most of the ingredients that way but I miss one or two per item. Well I am only on The salads and I have to do 12 more sub menus and I am only on submenu 3and I have been working on it for about 3 days and I only have untill tuesday to know them all! Yikes.. Well I am hoping the proccess will speed up for me. I am being as envolved with the engrediants as possible. I am saying them, visualizing them and drawing them. Thanks for your posts any addition help would be great!
