Whoops, I also should have added parentheses around the values.
Otherwise Python sees a tuple consisting of the string and first
value followed by the two succeeding values. And the single value
doesn't match the 3 %s tokens.

So it should be:

>>> print "%s %s %s" % (menu_specials["breakfast"], 
>>> menu_specials["lunch"],
menu_specials["dinner"])

Because of the parens you don't need the \ character so you can ignore 
that bit.

Note to self: Test before posting!
