Norman is a legend !!!  what a fantastic menu!!

[Norman Verona]

Hey, the menu's nothing to do with me, I only translated it.

 

When we first moved here the local restaurant had an English menu and they'd translated "assiette de porc" as  a "plate of pig parts". We got to know them and are now good friends. I translate the menu for them each year.

 

So, I'm now taking up the position of professional menu translator.

[Norman Verona]

Thanks John, 1 down and 15 to go.
