Fast WW forward to today: Tel Aviv has blossomed with possibilities for burritos and genuinely spicy salsa and is currently home to at least six delicious Mexican-style restaurants. In truth, the ingredients used in Mexican food aren’t that different from those native to the Israeli diet: fresh tomatoes, cilantro, avocado, citrus and lots of spices.

  • Practical Trends and Theoretical Issues in Mediating Greek Culture to English
    1 Practical trends and theoretical issues in mediating Greek culture to English Simos P. Grammenidis Aristotle University of Thessaloniki 1. Introduction It is generally admitted that translation is a process of approaching the other and reconsidering the same. From time immemorial, translating activity constitutes one of the essential means of intercultural communication, one of the major modes of bridging cultures, even bringing them closer. But is this always the case when it concerns the transfer from a peripheral culture to a central one?1 This paper aims at exploring the practices applied by English translators as regards the transfer of lexical items denoting Greek cultural specificities. In the first part I will attempt to draw up a typology of the adopted translational techniques and, in the second part to identify the inherent factors and reasons that guide translators in their choices. The goal here is not to establish an evaluation of the quality of the final product, but to throw light on the main practices as well as on the principal theoretical issues arising from the proposed translations. As for the data, these were gathered from various novels and a collection of short prose pieces and essays translated from Greek to English. 2. Cultural specificities and Translation The issue of the transference of the other as well as the interaction between translation and culture occupies nowadays a particular place in translation-based thinking. The emergence of the cultural dimension of the translation phenomenon contributed to the radical renewal of the translation speech and in recent decades led scholars to redefine the very nature of the translation phenomenon (cf.

  • DINING out What to Order When Dining Out…
    Eating Smart in Restaurants DINING OUT Plan Ahead § Phone ahead or review menu online to get an idea of the menu and their ability to accommodate your special requests. Upscale restaurants are usually more accommodating (but not always). § Consider requesting a 'doggy bag' at the time you place your order. Kitchen staff can box up half your meal before your meal is brought to you. The 'doggy bag' can be given to you as you leave. You can always order a salad and an extra side of vegetables if you do not feel it will be enough food). Order Wisely § Ask for grilled chicken or fish (brushed with a little olive oil), salad with olive oil and fresh lemon juice (or balsamic vinegar) on the side, two servings of vegetables (prepared with no butter or sauces), and rice pilaf or baked potato (no butter - instead 2 Tbsp. sour cream, chives, no bacon bits) § Ask questions - regarding how food is prepared, whether it comes with sauces. § Order one or two appetizers instead of main course (if they are healthier alternatives) § Order senior or junior portions if possible Avoid: Look For: Au gratin - means prepared with cheese Broiled, poached or roasted Stuffed - usually fat or oil is used to bind ingredients together Steamed, Barbequed Breaded - breading acts as a sponge for grease Au jus or 'in its own juice' Tempura or battered Tomato sauce Creamed, in cream sauce, in gravy Hollandaise or béarnaise sauces - made with butter & egg yolks Béchamel - made with butter and milk Sautéed, fried, crispy, basted, or pan-fried Casserole, pot pie or hash Ask For § Dressings, sauces, juices from cooking served on side § Soft margarine instead of butter, milk instead of cream § Baked potato rather than mashed potatoes or fries § Garden salad with olive oil and lemon juice on side rather than caesar, potato salad, pasta salad or coleslaw.

  • A Grounded Theory of Authenticity and Quality Constructions for Ethnic Restaurants: Implications for Effective Marketing Strategies
    A grounded theory of authenticity and quality constructions for ethnic restaurants: implications for effective marketing strategies Eleni (Elena) Chatzopoulou Newcastle University Business School PhD Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2018 ii Declaration No portion of the work referred to in this thesis has been submitted in support of an application for any other degree or qualification from this, or any other, University or institute of learning. (signature)…………………………………,(date)………………..... iii Acknowledgements During the PhD journey, there have been many people who supported me and believed in me. I wish to begin, though, with my beloved family: Giorgos Tetradis, Katerina Bendopoulou, Joyce Chatzopoulou and Markos Tetradis, who shared their endless love with me during the PhD years and they were always reminding me of how proud they were of me. Nor could I exclude my friends and relatives, whose messages and comforting words have accompanied me during this journey. Either in person or via Facebook, Viber and Skype they have been around during the good or bad times of the last years. Apart from my friends and family, my supervisors, Prof. Matthew Gorton and Dr Sharron Kuznesof, have been the cornerstone of the current thesis. They have heard my complaints, they have seen me disappointed and tired but thanks to their patience and support this research has been completed. Special thanks to the interview participants, the restaurant owners and the consumers, as without them this study wouldn’t be completed. They agreed to be interviewed even if they were busy, they shared their valuable experiences and some of them have been kind enough to treat me with food of their restaurants during our interview.
