Do you need to translate any of them?. I would have thought that Gazpacho and Paella are already international words. Are there any Brits who don't know what those two words mean?

Tortilla, I don't know if all Brits would get that or not. Potato omelette (I'd use the word potato given that potatoes are not a regular ingredient in omelettes in the UK whereas here it goes without saying).

isn't tortilla (as we know it) usually translated as spanish omelet?



and most brits only think paella comes with prawns

Spanish omelette usually means the one with all kinds in it, like in the Chinese in The UK for Brits, so I think potato omellete is the best translation.

The thing is that if I would read "cold soup" on a menu, it would put me off.

Risotto ? Is that an Italian word?

I don`t think it could be called anything else really ;-))
If you didn`t put cold they would whinge that the soup is still cold.

It is Italian, but a lot of Brits have had it / made it, so if they don`t know paella then they may know risotto.

I thought most Brits knew paella -after all, don't Vesta make it!


maybe it should be translated as the yellow Vesta seafood one

Veleta, I know one who wouldn't get "tortilla" - my ex-boss. We were in Madrid, I ordered tortilla for both of us, the waiter confirmed my order in Spanish - at which point my ex-boss said with a big sigh "No, let me do it, I'd better do it or we don't know what we'll get" and turned to the waiter, raised his voice and very loudly and slowly said "OM A LET TA, OM A LET TA". Then turning to me "I think HE'S got it now". The waiter winked at me but I died of shame....

Chilled?

chilled tomato soup?

still don't like the sound of it


but then I don't like it when it's called gazpacho, either

"Cold" soup definitely has a negative connotation.

I like "chilled" tomato soup. That wouldn't put me off.

I assume we are helping you translate a menu here???

It would seem that way, but no. I´m a taxidriver.

Taxi driver ?

Well, soon to be.
