PB Trans Apr 1, 2008:
As for the Kudoz glossary, as long as the entry is complete, the terms will come up in a search.
PB Trans Apr 1, 2008:
In gastronomy, it is sometimes clearer to ask a multi-term question (up to 10 words) because the terms are inter-related. For example, rouille is a garnish sauce for the fish soup. It confuses things to go back and forth between 2-3 separate questions.
Berni Armstrong Apr 1, 2008:
Yes, we can indeed ask using phrases of up to ten words. But if you list say the three or four you don't know here as separate Kudoz questions it streamlines glossary entries and gives more people a chance to share the points.
margaret caulfield (asker) Mar 31, 2008:
Rule 2.2 Berni, Thanks for your comment, but I understood we were allowed to ask a term of up to 10 words (according to Nikki-K). If I take out the "i", there qwould only be 10 words. Also, I've seen so many peers state an entire phrase (limited to 10 words) and nobody seems to have complained!
Berni Armstrong Mar 31, 2008:
In future, please indicate which word you are requesting, or else post each term you are unsure of as separate items. This is to ensure our terms dictionary is limited to individual terms. Thanks - Berni with Mod hat on.

You can leave samfaina as it is a typical Catalan dish, similar to ratatouille. However, since many countries have their own versions of raratouille (i.e. caponata in Italy, ghiveci in Romania) I would leave it in the original language. See:

In cooking, reduction is the process of thickening or intensifying the flavor of a liquid mixture such as a soup, sauce, wine, or juice by evaporation.

It would be repetitive to add "emulsion" as rouille is already a sauce. See:

Rouille is a spiced emulsion or sauce of olive oil, chilies, fresh breadcrumbs and garlic often used in Provencal (southern French) cuisine. The preparation of Rouille is very similar to an mayonnaise. The emulsion of the egg yolk and the olive oil form the base of this sauce traditionally served to fish , fish soups and fish stews and is an important condiment to Bouillabaisse.

red mullet

moll in Spanish ( or "salmonete") with samfaina (ratatouille), reduction of suquet (fish casserole) and an emulsion of rouille (typical bouillabaise sauce, like alioli with saffron and cayenne pepper)
Note from asker:
I fully understand what you're saying, Bernie. BUT, shortly after answering you last night, anoth asker cam in with a 13-word term. There were no certain words. It was an entire term and was answered by several. Why is that not questioned?
Many thanks again Pina. I'm going to have to offer you commisions at this rate!! Wonderful references!
Many thanks, etienne, but Pina's answer was so incredibly complete.
