¿Impossible to translate? Meh...

Menu translation - always tricky I always enjoy reading menu translations - my latest favourite from Cordoba was 'chicken tights' should have been thighs!. Rather Matt than me.
Helena Chavarria Oct 13, 2015:
Hi, Jane! I hardly ever translate menus for this reason. If there's enough room, which isn't often, I usually give a description. I always imagine I'm sitting in a restaurant with British people and I'm explaining/translating the menu for them. In this case I'm not sure whether it's a 'mollete made with macerated bread' or a 'macerated bread mollete'. Neither do we know where the restaurant is and if it's a local dish.

But in answer to your question, I would leave 'Mollete' because I think it's good to teach visitors new words, though I think an explanation is needed because of people with coeliac disease, diabetes, etc.

@ Helena ... and do you? I think it's impossible to translate and Matt might have to put something like 'Mollete made with Pan Amacerado, a local bread.
Helena Chavarria Oct 13, 2015:
According to Jane's reference Aquí en Zaragoza le llamamos pan amacerado (macerado)
Jane Martin Oct 13, 2015:
Here's a description of 'pan amacerado" http://conlaszarpasenlamasa.es/2009/10/17/pan-amacerado/
Helena Chavarria Oct 13, 2015:
I think it should be 'macerar' (macerate).

Hi Luz,
You're right, you can't translate mollete, but it's the second part I'm having problems with.

MOLLETE

I don't think you can translate "mollete" - maybe I am wrong though!

Puede referirse a "amasado" - kneaded dough bread (bolillo) es con lo que se hacen los molletes usualmente

Unless in the menu there are other type of MOLLETES , you could just translate it as MOLLETE (only) and if there is a space for a description you say "made of kneaded dough bread"

MACERATED BREAD MUFFIN

Rising to the " this can be translated" challenge, I found "mollete" translated as "muffin", "pan" is bread and macerated is...

Several restaurants offer "soft bread muffins":

"Uovo Benedict. £6.20. Poached egg, ham & hollandaise sauce on soft bread muffin."

Peer comment(s):
neutral Luz Esther : I also saw it translated as "muffin" but I do not agree that is the same concept. A mollete is very different from a muffin and people should know the difference when they are going to choose it at a restaurant. My opinion.

neutral Jane Martin : Although I applaud your effort not to be beaten by this item of food .... the problem is the bread is not macerated in the English sense (softenend by being soaked in a liquid), it is just a soft, oval-shaped bread roll.
