LOST IN TRANSLATION?
We went to The Black Horse at North Nibley
today and had the roast. It was superb. However, we had a good giggle when we read
their Tapas menu. Tapas are served in
the evenings and one or two of the delicacies on offer were as follows:- Gambas con Ajo Petrolio, (Prawns with garlic
and petrol), Calamares Porfundo Frito, (Deep Fried Squid). Profundo means profound or deep as in deep
thinker, petrolio is obvious. Clearly
someone had taken and English/Spanish Dictionary and literally translated the
dishes word by word instead of using their head or even looking the dishes up
in a Spanish CookBook, or even online.
