Even people who speak passable Spanish can have trouble reading a menu. Although you may know that the word for meat in Spanish is carne, you might be surprised to discover vieja ropa (which means "old clothes") on a menu. In fact, it is shredded beef. This guide was created for the traveler who wants to enjoy, appreciate and experience authentic cuisine and know what he or she is eating.

Review

There are plenty of general phrase books available for those traveling through Spanish-speaking countries; but this narrows the topic to reading menus in Spanish, providing a depth that the general phrasebooks lack. Food-related words and tips on pronunciation accompany Spanish/English and English/Spanish translations in a handy pocket-sized guide. -- Midwest Book Review
