							| food vocabulary (Brazilian teachers) 
 |  
							| Hello, teachers. How are you doing? I need a little help from Brazilian teachers about food vocabulary. My students have to make an ad or menu for a burger or pizza place as a unit project.  They made it. But there some of the vocabulary really got me confused. Please, can you have a look and tell if they are right or wrong. And tell me ones I couldn �t  figure out.    Refrigerante de 2 litros = 2 liters soda? Promo��o= special offer? Por tempo limitado = for a limited time? Torta mousse de chocolate= chocolate mousse pie Pastelaria= ? Rod�zio=? Pastel = pastry (it�s seems a little weird to me, google for it and you�ll understand) Recheio de pastel= pastry filling? Pizzaria = pizzaria ou pizzeria? Raspadinha=? 
                cachorro quente prensado = ?   I know it may sound stupid. But it�s the first time I teach about food, ad and menus.  Please, help me.   Thanks.  |  23 Nov 2009

							| Hello, Zora.  Thank you very much, my dear. I�m not as stupid as I thought.  But, pie as �pastel� doesn�t seem the right word. And iced drink really seems a little general. I usually use Google images to know if my guesses are right, I think Pastry doesn�t fit as �pastelaria�. If you type this, nothing like �pastelaria� appears.    You are from Canada, isn�t it?  How do you understand the Portuguese words?    But, I really grateful.    Thanks.    |  24 Nov 2009

							| I live in Spain now. In the Galician region and the dialect is very similar to Portuguese. 
 Just so you know... "pie" in English is used for anything that has a filling, whether it be meat, fish, chocolate, cream, or fruit. Empanada would be for example: meat or fish pie...
 
 And if you are referring to a menu then it is "pastry" in the dessert part... Bakery (which is also pasteleria) would be the place it comes from... A bakery makes pastry... but on a menu it �s "pastry"...  I understood you were looking for the menu term.

							| Hi 
 Translating food is not that easy; we cook here what you don �t cook somewhere else , miles away. One thing is for sure, for me: ROD�ZIO is BRAZILIAN . You can explain what it is, but , my opinion, should never translate it.
 
 You don �t translate CAMPANHE, VERMOUTH, PIZZA, etc, etc, etc.
 ROD�ZIO is Brazilian and I am a lover.
 Hugs
 linda
