Thumbs up Five Language Culinary Terms Glossary

This post was developed from the following thread:

Looking for a good Borsch recipe!

Quote:
BTW...I have the same problem when trying to translate the names of the different meat pieces from Italian to English. Only few dictionaries, I think, report the English for "scamone" or "sottopaletta"! Do you know any link that could help me?

I stumbled onto a wonderous five language "Beef Glossary" <-- Click here!!!

The languages include the following:
French, German, English, Spanish (Argentine), Italian

Also included are tables of translations for Beef Cuts, Veal, Lamb, Pork, and Poultry

I don't think this could be more appropriate to utilize as a reference for the members here at ChefTalk.


Athenaeus,

You may find the following link very interesting.

Scroll down the "Meat Industry Document Archives". There are many articles concerning history! In reference to your post: "History of Food and Cooking Forum"
