De acord rosematei; "perisoare" au un echivalent perfect dar "mititei" ?...mai incet
Rose Marie Matei (X) May 30, 2008:
Mihaela Ghiuzeli May 30, 2008:
Mexican dishes are not translated since they are unique( ceviche, quesadilla,tacos, etc). I don't see why our "mititei" would be either.

kebab

Although it's not exactly the same thing and you still have the Romanian frigarui for the real kebab, I think most people will identify mititei as kebab.

you can also call them mititei and explain :)
Peer comment(s):

neutral Mihaela Ghiuzeli : "Mititei" are not on a skewer and the meat is ground.

You're right, this is why I added a comment. I think mititei should be used since it's a traditional dish, and an explanation added

skinless (small) meat sausages

That's what they are.


We could leave them untranslated followed by an explanation.
Peer comment(s):

agree Anca Nitu : skinless sausages - eu asa ii prezint ( meat roll suna groaznic, am incercat si lumea ma tot intreaba ce-i aia )

Aşa le zic englezii pe care îi cunosc eu, când povestesc ce au mâncat în România. Merci, Anca.
