Will there be a cheap Italian for all in ED.

Italian food is good and affordable for all.

Not in Ed it seems

[Lowlander]

From the website; "We are meticulous about the meat used in our dishes, only the best cuts from trusted local supplier"

Who in ED sells Australian beef and Dutch veal? The latter of which is not terribly high in animal welfare...

Isn't Il Mirto relatively affordable?

[DulwichFox]

You will always be able to charge more simply by printing the Menu In French or Italian.

It's purely psychological that tricks the diner into thinking they are getting something

a bit more exotic and worth paying a little extra for.

Insulata Mista [verde] -- Mixed green salad.

Except Il Mirto and Franco Manca, that is.

I've seen Gordon bleu on menus in Thailand which is probably forgivable but never Insulata (sic) Mista

Thankfully you're not writing the menu DF

Right. Get it. Like with curry houses when they use the words 'murgh' and 'gosht'. Etc.

NO not at all. Most Indian menu items / words are not translatable directly into English.

From Urdu murġ, from Persian murġ 'bird, fowl'.

So a Chicken Murgh would be Chicken Bird Curry. Does not really make sense .

Most curry lovers know what the terms mean.

Whereas the word 'insalata', of course, will leave Italian food aficianados scratching their heads.

That was my very point ?

We all know what Insalata means .. It can be directly represented / translated into English and therefore does

not need to be in Italian. unlike Murgh. (your example)

For Fox Sake...

Nope, you've lost me. Sorry. The next time I order a murgh vindaloo, I won't be getting chicken?

[edcam]

Fox has been outfoxed.

Nobody likes a sore loser, Foxy!

Oh lorks

Even i've left you alone of late, but you can't help yourself

Silly ol' Fox, take a deep breath and say the following

"I WAS WRONG ON THAT ONE, SORRY"

[DulwichFox]

How can I be Wrong. Its just my opinion.

I watched a TV prog. recently about how the same technique is used on Supermarket Packaging

to enhance their products and make them more appealing.

Can see why every one is having a dig a Foxy with Louisa now keeping a low profile.

You must all be suffering with withdrawal symptoms. :) :) :)

Foxy

[numbers]

What's the Italian for 'having your arse handed to you on a plate?'

[Seabag]

Or Turkish ?

[spider69]

Apart from the digs nobody has actually said if it is reasonable or an Ed/LL it's expensive we must go there.

Well Foxy, you do actually have a certain reputation for backing yourself into tight situations.

And you all fall for it and get sucked in ..

"What's the Italian for 'having your arse handed to you on a plate?'"

Apparently it's:

"avendo il culo consegnato a voi su un piatto"

[jimbo1964]

Insalata. Insulata is what Italians put in their lofts.

Type-written menus?
