peer agreement (net): +1slices of herring Explanation: Jeg tviler på at du finner et engelsk uttrykk som dekker helt. Det er opprinnelig et svensk produkt, derfor vil du få flere tilslag om du søker på gaffelbitar. Her er definisjonen: A Dictionary of Food and Nutrition | 2005 | DAVID A. BENDER | 185 words | Copyright gaffelbitar Semi‐preserved herring in which microbial growth is checked by the addition of salt at a concentration of 10–12%, and sometimes benzoic acid as a preservative. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 28 mins (2011-08-07 18:50:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ellers, siden det du oversetter tydeligvis er relatert til merket King Oscar, kan du jo også se hva de selv skriver om gaffelbitene sine - de bruker altså det litt diffuse 'Herring cocktails': Literally “fork bites,” premium King Oscar gaffelbiter or herring cocktails are made from traditionally spiced, boneless, herring pieces. Tender, soft, and rich in a delicious wine sauce. A Norwegian specialty – perfect on a classic sandwich with egg. Det var hentet fra http://www.kingoscar.com/products-by-market/norway/norway-he... Dette nettstedet kan sikkert være til nytte for også i resten av arbeidet. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2011-08-08 05:57:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Pieces or chunks may also be good options here. Depending on the target audience, it might be a good idea to keep the original name and explain in parenthesis, someting like this: bla bla gaffelbiter (herring chunks marinated in wine sauce) bla bla Reference: http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1O39-gaffelbitar.html |
