Eszabo, If you don't have enough space on the menu to put something like: Trinxat (a Catalan version of ....) personally, I would agree with Lisa and just put "bubble and squeak".

Rick, I guess I must explain it better, the menu is not to be of Catalan cuisine, I just happened to get the task of translating into English some international dishes - originally written in the Spanish language (!) - to be presented at a hotel in Búzios, Rio de Janeiro state, at New Year's eve. This mixture sounded rather confusing. It is, indeed!!! Thanks for your interest...

I can't help but think that if the menu is to be of Catalan cuisine, it would be a better idea to keep the name of the dish in Catalan, with an explanation of its ingredients, etc. in English

languages I thought trinxat was Catalan, but you've confused the issue by posting the rest of the question in Portuguese - hence my confusion. Perhaps it would be a good idea to translate the Portuguese part...

Hello, thanks for your entry, the term comes from the catalan cuisine, so its spanish-english translation I need for the composition of my english language menu of a Rio de Janeiro hotel (that's why it might have sounded awkward)... Thanks again! Elisabeth

wrong language? Are you sure this shouldn't be Portuguese>English?
