spaghetti to the angry
This thing came to my mind while posting the picture of the barilla
cellentani which a site had mispelled in cellantini. The mispellings and errors are countless also in the other way around, from italian to english. This dish, "spaghetti to the angry", is on the external menu' of a restaurant near here, they wrote it in italian and english. They just translated "spaghetti all'arrabbiata" in the most litheral possible way, and the result is that. Matches well with the fake-italian restaurant I saw in Amsterdam years ago, run by turkish people. Their menu listed many dishes of pasta al forno and one was "pene al forno", they forgot an N in "penne" thusly creating a phrase which translates to "baked penises". We were all ROTFLing in the street in front of their restaurant, literally ROTFling, and those two waiters were looking at us with a guessing expression on their faces -- "Un pasto senza vino e' come un giorno senza sole" Anthelme Brillat Savarin |

Some things simply don't translate well. And if you don't spell it right in the first place... oops! Jill |

I just saw an episode of Restaurant Impossible where they featured an Italian restaurant not run by Italians. I don't think they even had any Italians working in there. Robert Irvine changed their menu. |

Here, a lot of the Asian takeout places sell both Chinese and Japanese food. Sometimes they even have some Korean stuff thrown in there. |

For something korean or vietnamese or thai I'd have to drive to at least Bologna, here in these small towns there are just chinese and fake japanese places. in the lastyears the chinese started many "all you can eta" type places, where ona pays 8-10 euros around noon and 10-12 in the evening. One of those, along with a new McDonald's, are killin' one of the few remaining sandwich trucks, those who cook sausage and hotdogs on a griddle / hotplate along with onion and peppers.

And in the US (Italy too) what's called Asian food is really just ordinary local dishes with an accent... in Italy they serve Tofu Puttanesca. http://www.theppk.com/puttanesca-scramble/ |

I don't know about the owners, but there are Chinese cooks in the Kitchen. Here's Italian restaurants have Chinese cooks in the kitchen and Japanese restaurants have Mexicans. It's just another manifestation of our global economy. -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |

The Japanese restaurant we once ate at in DC had an all-Chinese waitstaff. The oddest thing was the Greek restaurant whose owners sold to their Mexican employees. |

Robert Irvine > changed their menu. We have such a thing not too far from us - opened as a Greek restaurant, then changed to be an Italian restaurant, still run by the same Greek family, and still with some Greek staples on the menu. It wasn't successful as a Greek restaurant but has now been open a number of years as an Italian restaurant. I confess that we haven't eaten there since they changed their menu's ethnicity, however, but we drive by it regularly. -S- |
