Romanian term

chiftele vs. perisoare

Romanian to English Other Food & Drink
Din cate stiu, sunt cateva ingrediente care difera la cele doua preparate (orez, usturoi). Cu toate aceastea, amandurora li se spune „meatballs”.

Am gasit tot pe proz varianta „quenelle” pentru perisoarele.

Meatballs vs.quenelles?

Pe langa aceasta problema, as mai avea una. Chiftele si perisoarele respective sunt vegetale.
Sa pastrez denumirea de meatballs si sa adaug „vegetarian”? Sau sa le spun vegetable balls?
Imi cer scuze ca am adresat mai mult decat o intrebare, sper ca este in regula...

Da, e un singur cuvânt, dar e un cuvânt compus din două alte cuvinte. Nu văd care e problema dacă eu vreau să folosesc ball, calificat de veggie meat ca adjectiv.
Un alt căpos: Yorkshire Meat Balls: YES, "Meat Balls" is two words.
(păcat că nu explică de ce).
http://timetravelkitchen.blogspot.ro/2011/10/yorkshire-meat-...
Meatballs e un singur cuvant "Meat balls" pot fi numai de carne si doar in context in care unele "balls" sunt din altceva pt. face distinctie carne/ce-o fi.
Cristina Crişan Aug 18, 2012:
carne vegetală Există şi în româneşte:) "Carne" de ciuperci, de soia, etc.
N-aş scrie însă meatballs într-un singur cuvânt, ci aş separa veggie meat + balls.
Pentru perişoare de considerat ar fi şi meat and rice balls - orezul cred că e principala diferenţă dpdv al ingredientelor - sau mă înşel?
Roxana Cretulescu (asker) Aug 18, 2012:
Voi merge pe varianta in ghilimele, asa cum a sugerat si Sangro.
Va multumesc mult pentru ajutor!

Figurative meaning oxymoron e.g. vegetarian meatball.
There are dozens of vegetarian meatball recipes available on the Internet, despite the fact that anything that deserves the name meatball cannot, by definition, be labeled vegetarian. The word meatball is being used to evoke shape, flavor, and the role of the food in various recipes, and what is really meant is something like “a vegetarian version of a meatball.” However, it’s effective to say just the two words, and – if you think of the second one as being in quotes – a vegetarian “meatball,” meaning it’s only a so-called meatball, it works.

Da, NYT e o sursa credibila. :-)

Corect, multe sunt postate de public Dar revizia asta de ex. apare in The New York Times, care e- consider eu - o sursa credibila...
"...vegetarian meatballs made of ground chickpeas tossed in spicy chili sauce and called shiro wat..."

Poate: vegetarian "meatbals" intre ghilimele. Sa nu uitam ca toate aceste retete sunt postate de public.
Claudia Coja Aug 18, 2012:
Nu cred ca in situatia asta se pune problema "Pe net ce cauti, gasesti". Pur si simplu asa se cheama...
In plus, din cate stiu, "meat" nu se refera doar la "the flesh of animals as used for food", ci are si alte sensuri. Ca de ex. aici:
Vegetarian Mushroom Meat Recipes
http://how-to-be-vegetarian.blogspot.com/2012/03/vegetarian-...
Pe net ce cauti, gasesti. Eu n-as folosi vegetarian meatballs. Fiecare cu pararea sa.
Claudia Coja Aug 18, 2012:
Vegetarian Meatballs Desi pare ciudat, avand in vedere cum este compus substantivul in sine, se pare ca totusi "Vegetarian Meatballs " exista...
There are many vegetarian meatball recipes that use meat substitutes, or you could try a recipe for other styles of meat free balls such as beans or vegetables.
http://allrecipes.com.au/recipes/tag-7374/vegetarian-meatbal...
This recipe makes use of our very versatile mushroom meat. This is the stuff we use in place of ground beef in any recipe in order to vegetarianize it, and it's much more natural than commercially available ground beef substitutes. These meatballs made with mushroom meat are a hit over and over again in our house.

Meatballs Are Better Without the Meat

Cred ca e suficient...
Quenelles and meatballs 1. N-am auzit niciodata de quenelles. Ar fi bine sa folosesti termenul cu discernamant, in functie de publicul-tinta.
2. Meatballs nu pot fi vegetariene. Sunt de carne. Cele vegetariene prajite se numesc patties sau pancakes. Pt. cele fierte - daca umpluturi in coca - as cauta corespondente in gastronomia italiana.

Wikipedia a fost "mai la indemana"... Eu nu as merge pe varianta "quenelle"...

Note from asker:
Multumesc frumos! M-am gandit si eu la varianta aceasta, mai ales ca ingredientele difera foarte putin, diferenta facand-o modul de preparare. Dar am vazut apoi cealalta varianta, qeunelle. Wikipedia nu este de incredere, eu am verificat termenul aici: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/quenelle http://www.recipetips.com/glossary-term/t--33922/quenelle.asp http://www.thefreedictionary.com/quenelle Conform definitiilor de mai sus, cam seamana cu perisoarele noastre.
