Menu explanation needed.

[KASM]

Hi all,

5 star hotel menu that I initially put down to poor translation, but having checked both the Spanish and German versions via translation, it appears correct. But what the hell?

Oh and I'm not spending near a hundred Euro just to find out.

[KASM]

Spain, we're not stopping in the hotel in question, it's posted outside their restaurant.

Are they cakes, biscuits or cookies?

Can of worms...

Ok, I'll just have to accept that they were serving Stroganoff with some form of citrus flavoured baked treat, then go two restaurants down and have the Spicy Salami Pizza and some cheap house red instead and save 70 Euro.

They are cakes. Just ask the taxman!

Apparently cakes dry out with keeping because they are baked moist.

Biscuits go soft, i.e. damp, with keeping because they are baked dry.

They are cakes. Just ask McVities, not the Tax Man

Fixed that for you.

The rice is flavoured with spices and a type of orange cake, as I understand it, rather than it being stroganoff, rice and then a cake on the side.
