Review
...I find myself more confident when ordering and can avoid those
regrettable touristy restaurants that you sometimes go to just because
they provide English menus. It is so useful. --excerpt of a review of Passeport Gastronomique: France
..a foreign menu can be a miserable experience. A basic translation error could mean the difference between ordering a steak, or a plate full of fried lamb intestines.
Thankfully, there is Passeport Gastronomique

Product Description
Newly Revised 2nd Edition! NOW with Vegan and Vegetarian helpful phrases!!
Buon Appetito! This guide to Italian dining is an Italian menu translator, phrasebook and pronunciation guide.
Passeport Gastronomique: Italy is invaluable to both the adventurous and cautious diner. It helps you search out (or avoid) favorites and unusual dishes.

Know What You Eat!
This from Robin Locker Lacey at MyMelange.net
By now you know that I'm a traveling foodie. But that doesn't always mean that I the most adventurous eater.
In fact, there is a limit to what I will eat (no brains, intestines, testicles or eyeballs for me!) even if it is considered a delicacy. Not really into snails either.
I always like to arm myself with correct menu translations so that I can avoid any unpleasant foods while traveling. No embarrassing culinary mishaps for me thankyouverymuch.
Up to this point, I have always recommended the Marling Menu-Master, which is certainly a great resource.
But now, with the magic of modern technology, there is a new eBook on the scene that would give you the same result, but in a new downloadable format.
Passeport Gastronomique offers foreign menu language translations for France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Sweden and The Netherlands- and even a few combo editions.
It's a great way to get the info and security, but at a fraction of the cost (under $10) - and with the ease of having it on your Smartphone or eReader - it means never having to pack or carry around a bulky guidebook. And never having to wonder which of the cow's stomachs you just ate.
Do you remember a time that you wished you had a menu translator?
