Cooking / Culinary / MENU FROM A RESTAURANT
Spanish term or phrase: Lasaña de croca y gallo de corral
Este plato aparece en un menú de un restaurante.

Croca es carne de ternera de la parte de la cadera (rump) y gallo de corral hace referencia a un gallo criado de manera tradicional y al aire libre, lo que le da a la carne una textura particular. Es un producto muy apreciado por su calidad.

Podría traducirse por "farm cockerel"? "Rump steak and farm cockerel lasagna??? ¿Qué otras opciones hay?

Gracias!

neutral  Rebecca Reddin: 'Veal' might put off quite a few guests, which is a large risk when "ternera" is frequently used in Spain to indicate beef in general, not necessarily veal.
18 hrs
  -> Yes - good point and it would be important to know whether this is beef or veal. We certainly separate them in English, and for American tourists, the distinction should be clear.
agree  Adrian MM.: It is a Galician dish - veal lasagne with free-range capon forum.wordreference.com/threads/croca-de-ternera.1588740/ + Das Restaurant Casa Ricardo in Hamburg präsentiert die Spezialität: Croca vom Galizien *Kalbfleisch* = veal and not Rindfleisch/ beef.
1 day 4 hrs
  -> Thank you! I notice the change to "with" which can suggest one dish! Can't wait to try it my next visit to Spain!
neutral  Yvonne Gallagher: so it's "veal and free-range chicken lasagne" now we know (finally) that it's not 2 dishes. (still don't think we'd say capon here in English)? "Capon" perhaps in a dish on its own but not when mixed with other meat in a so-called "lasagne"
1 day 16 hrs
  -> It's true that capon is only used in gourmet/haute cuisine dishes, so it really depends on what kind of restaurant this is, and who the audience is.

disagree  Carol Gullidge: Why “crockpot”, and why such a high confidence rating?/ sorry, can we have that in English? This shows that this is patently not the best way to go about translating into a foreign language with which you’re not conversant.
1 hr
  -> Crockpot is being mentioned on interner links then I posted this header. I very suppose that is it. Thanks
disagree  Taña Dalglish: Are you suggesting croca is "crockpot"? Further, I have never heard any restaurant menu refer to lasagna being made with "free range roosters". Frankly, your translations are not helping your cause one iota, and just mislead Askers! Spanish not on list!
1 hr
disagree  Yvonne Gallagher: croca is crockpot?!/ Wrong again! Santa Croce is a church and neighborhood in Florence Italy as your latest link shows. This is a restaurant in Spain and it's a Spanish word "crocA"! Why guess meanings of words and mix up languages?
12 hrs
  -> I am sorry. Here is word about: The lasagna from Santa Croce, very probably. It means that answer is: Croce lasagna and free range chicken (or rooster). I am eating so different food. Regards

Reference: cuts of beef

Reference information:
I agree with Rebecca that veal may be off-putting for customers so, though "ternura" often refers to veal, it could also mean beef here. Especially since lasagna is usually made with beef.

But what cut is "croca? Is it really rump? I doubt it. Good mincemenat to be used in lasagna would be from minced round steak . That's what I use anyway.

Still waiting for further input from Asker. Is this 2 dishes or one? Or 2 dishes on the one plate? It would seem that lasagna made with a mixture of chicken and beef would be highly unusual and not very appetising in my view.

Anyway, this may help actually choose the correct cut of meat in English

as for the chicken...well "free range" is obviously a selling point but though coq au vin is a well known dish, we'd normally just say "chicken" in English rahter than specify its gender.

typo last line: "rather"

--------------------------------------------------

so we finally get clarification that it's one dish with 2 meats. So do we just ignore the cut of meat?

"veal and free-range chicken lasagne"

Not something that sounds at all appetising to me and "lasagna" seems to be a complete misnomer for the dish.

I do believe it is this: https://www.tripadvisor.es/Restaurant_Review-g7777650-d12505...

It is actually lasagne with both beef and poultry. The reply to the review linked to the photo actually mentions "nuestras nuevas creaciones culinarias", which I guess is as good a description as any for a beef-and-poultry lasagne.
