Hi Maj, If the person being asked this question is a restaurant guest the correct prep. would be 'from'. If a restaurant owner (or chef) is being asked by someone who is preparing the menu itself, it would be 'on'.

1 what would you like to be on the menu?

2 what would u like on the menu?

or

do both the sentence mean the same? [if both r correct]

Hi Bubu,
Both are reasonably OK, but perhaps the best would be;
What would you like [me to] put on the menu?

This sentence sounds good! Thanks, Mike. Your are always so accurate in your answers! But let me ask you would that only be about food?

Ah, good question Maj (not so accurate after all eh..).
What other types of menu can you think of? (hint; PC Plod)
