Poster: A snowHead
|
This is (sort of) The Piste ? as it involves skiing (tenuously).
Does anyone know what the Italian translation for Kosher (Jewish food) is Italian, or is there another phrase that is used.
I have just had a group booking in from a Jewish religious group and they have asked for this, the hotels don't understand.
My Italian is not good enough for this. I teach Italians to ski and I think I sound like Manuel from Fawlty Towers to them, well they seem to spend a lot of time laughing at my pronunciation, but this is VERY important and so I must get it right.
Thanks

Babelfish gives the Italian translation of kosher as "cascer".
Venice has a long tradition of hosting Jewish communities (The Merchant of Venice ) and I think kosher food can still be found in the 'ghetto' area above the train station. So perhaps the hotels could call other hotels in that area for advice on recipes?

Wayne, I doubt that the hotel will be able to observe kashrut laws if they are unaware by your Italian! Just go into their kitchens and look! Seperate sinks, seperate pots and pans, etc. Not many hotels have this set up outside Israel!

Just found out it can't be done.
Had a reply from synagogue and they said it can't be done. Kosher must be from farm to plate.
The clients are going to bring some food with them and the the chef will prepare it for them. The clients seem quite relaxed about things, so they said it should be ok.

Tell them that it's OK because it's halal and that it's (more or less) the same thing.

It is not just the food! So they appear to be less observant than they led you to believe! Or it could be when out of sight of their rabbi it is "sausage and bacon" for breakfast! Not unknown IME!!
