Juleyandpaul Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Hello,Can anyone recommend a dictionary for use in resturants etc. Nothing too big but with most of the words that we will come across when going out for a meal in France.There are quite a few on Amazon but would rather have one with a recommendation.ThanksJuley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 We have one called 'Eat your words in France' it is 'shirtpocket' size - http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/095135020X/qid%3D1090708245/026-5586555-4971629#product-detailsMight be worth trying some other French book suppliers if its going to take as long as they say !

Punch Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 >Hello, >>Can anyone recommend a dictionary for >use in resturants etc. I quite like the pocket sized "French Menu Reader" by Stanway , ISBN 09532 85804. I think I bought our copy on a Brittany Ferries boat.Best Regards,Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caterham7 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 We have been using 'The Pocket Guide to French Food and Wine' by Tessa Youell and George Kimball for many years.It really is an excellant little book,seperated into regions then a dictionary.ISBN 0947761004,it was second hand when we were given it,so it may be hard to find.Regards Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I reckon the best of the lot is The Taste of France - it was a Macmillan paperback but is, sadly, out of print. Main author is Fay Sharman (I hasten to say that I am not she!) and a search on Abebooks website will usually trawl a copy. I've used it for years and have never yet found a menu term it didn't cover. It is all in alpha order, making it very quick to refer to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
