The word menu translates to valikko in Finnish - valita ("to choose, select") +‎ -kko

The word menu translates to ruokalista in Finnish - ruoka (“food”) +‎ lista (“list”)

Yes, Google Maps literally calls the sidebar menu "Food List"

Oh Google, not you too ☃️

Still, the poor ai-bot tasked with Finnish translation may have been fooled by this being a 'hamburger menu'.
