Hi.
I have been working for some time now on a website and am finally getting round to putting content onto the site. I have the lists below of foods that I would like checking for errors if you would be so kind?
There are a few where I have put ????????? - This just means could you please fill it in for me? Also I dont know how to get accents onto the letters, how should I go about doing this?
Thanks
Andrew

Two quick points:Quote:

-Сосиски specifically refers to хот-доги methinks. :wink:
I am assuming he is referring to "tea and biscuits" kind because he uses the word "prawns" for "shrimp" so he probably means "biscuits' for "cookies".
And let's not forget my favourite, вИпички - turnovers.
Someone should check my spelling again on that!
squid - кальмар
clam - моллюск (?)
mussel - мидия
leek - зелёный лук
lime - лайм
ketchup - кетчуп
BBQ sauce - соус барбекю
curry - карри
pizza - пицца
cordial - Lingvo sais "ликёр"
-------
cauliflower - цветнАя капУста
blueberry - чернИка
Hi thanks you guys for the help.
DDT: Yes it was about biscuits (as in tea and biscuits - I'm from England after all!)
Only 2 more to go now:
Brocoli
Kebab (as in an English kebab shop)
If not, dont worry, I will just leave them out of the list.
Thanks
Andrew
Kebab .....Шашлык
Dunno about broccoli
Брокколи is understandable.
broccoli = брокколи, капуста брокколи, капуста спаржевая
kebab = кебаб, шашлык, жаркое
DDT, I'm correcting your accents:
цветнАя
чернИка
and spelling:
вЫпечки

Hi guys, thanks!
I have put the words now into a web page. You'll find them here:
http://www.computer-tutorials.org/New_s ... lfood.html
There are still a few I havent found out but I will bug you for those later. Feel free to use, and enjoy.

Doesn't "сок" mean "Juice" and not gravy?
Also, (and this is just an issue of formatting), but the first listing's header is in both Russian and English, while the following are all in english. (Мясо и Meat...)
tdk
Yes, сок means juiceQuote:

You forgot Чикен. Do you want fries with that?
You can set up your own franchise in Moscow:
http://www.buyusa.gov/russia/ru/yum_restaurants.html
You might be able to make a lot of money since it's so popular, but if I understood it correctly that seems REALLY steep -- 40K$ for startup franchise fee, 6% of all pre-tax profits in royalties PLUS 5% of all pre-tax profits have to be used for advertising? That of course says nothing of the startup costs, the building, the employees, the equipment, the insurance, the taxes, and of course, the infamous штрафы. :wink:Quote:

Anyway here's some comments about the website.
Some of these have prolly been noted already concerning your website:
сырой is a quality rather than a kind of meat.
картошка spelling.
свёкла does anyone use the word "beetroot" for "beet"? Is that BrE?
огурец cuke , you used the pl. form
молочное or maybe молочные продукты for dairy
if яйцо is egg, then гриб must be mushroom.
бутерброд is sandwich
you forgot all the pancake types for breadfast
сахар is not a drink
many of the things you have under Sauces aren't.
What? Pizza an international food? It's as American as apple pie!
блюдо. You gotta watch out fer mistakes like that.
вилка
And ending with a word that reminds me of one of my favorite Yiddish expressions, Hak mir nisht ken tschaynik.
There was an interesting article about this in last month's American Heritage magazine. Seems pizza was food that was only eaten by the dirt poor in Italy (where it IS from) -- it was actually humiliating to have to eat it. And then it showed up in America and be came a huge hit and pizza industry exploded.Quote:

"Cordial", as in the common household drink made of syrup plus water ........I think is translated as фруктОвый напИток
Пельмени = Pelmini
Ижевск Seems to think it is 'their' dish...
I made some once, not certain how they turned out, but I'll stick with frozen ravioli for now.

And here's one for Capecodah.
Cod .......... треска
DDT, I remembered at work!!!! But I had to actually work and not play around tonight...
Ah, thanks guys for the added extras! Didnt check this thread again as thought it was finished - thanks.
I will make the changes then stick the link back up here.
