When Coca-Cola __, - went into the Asian market, the orig- . inal Chinese translation they used lit- ~ erally meant, “Bite the Tadpole”. In ~ the ULS., one frozen food manufae- turer used the word “‘burrada” t : describe its burrite fine of Mexican flour tortillas, unaware that the word was Spanish slang for a huge mis- .. take. A bigger mistake was the Spanish translation of an American slogan “It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken.” Translated - _into Spanish, it somehow came to ‘mean something that approximates, ’ “It takes an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate.” ..." _. “And when it comes to holidays, food companies send public-reia- “tions people into overdrive, A few: years ago, for St. Patrick’s Day, I. received a list of green garnishes for drinks that included “large green beans.” : Then there are recipes from test kitchens with unseemly suggestions, -; Two ef my favorites are Sausage-. Centred Pork Loin Roast and Frank . Fajitas. .The suggestion from the “Live Stock and Meat Beard Kitchen for the pork loin was to gently insert a frozen sausage link through the. whole (sic) in the middle of the -/ “roast.” _ Can you imagine why ; anyone would want to take an expensive * four-pound centre loin roast and ream it out with a knife and spoon . $0 you can put a cheap sausage into “ “it? Further instructions say to place’ - the nine- 1o 10-inch smoked pork -link sausage flat and straight on a’, |: pking sheet (tape down if neces- . sary) and freeze. However, we are _ not told what type of tape to use. Duct tape? Freezer tape? Or maybe they mean that black sticky stuff you put on electrical wires. Frank fajitas was the piece de. resistance. You take hot dogs cut. * ‘ into quarters lengthwise, soak them in a beer-based marinade and then stir-fry them with green peppers and onions.
