You need a *Dutch* -> English glossary Explanation: You will undoubtedly have more luck if you search for a Dutch -> English glossary: the term 'Flemish' refers to the culture, not the language. The language spoken in Flanders is Dutch. |

peer agreement (net): +2Ask the waiter - Ask proz Explanation: To the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing as a Flemish - English food glossary/dictionary, nor is it likely to exist. Officially, Flemish does not exist. It is Dutch. The numerous differences between the two are brushed under the table as errors/mistakes. A Dutch glossary will therefore be of very limited help. Culinary culture in Holland and Flanders is *very* different. The Dutch use countless ingrediënts the Flemish have never even heard of, and vice versa. Glossaries for other languages, especially French (official kitchen related terminology in Belgium -even Flanders- is French), may help somewhat. However, especially the last few decades, there is a developing trend to "translate" the French terminology into Dutch/Flemish. Your best best is to ask the waiter to explain. He or she may have some limited knowledge of English, especially in Flanders. If not: write it down, ask it here. If that's not practical before ordering: just order it anyway. One of the greatest pleasures of eating out abroad is the adventure of tasting things you've never tasted before and then trying to figure out what they were. There is no danger, Flemish cooking and hygiene is generally safe, even if it may not meet North American standards. |
