food translation dictionaries - actual books, not online!

[kschuman]

I am travelling to the Basque region as well as Barcelona in June. I speak no Spanish, but even if I did, I doubt it would help me in these places. I'm really looking forward to the great food but am worried that deciphering menus will be difficult. I've seen a number of posts here about online food translation sites, but unless I'm mistaken, those would require you to be on line (with Wi-Fi) while you are sitting in a restaurant. I am wondering if there is an actual book available, or a list which could be downloaded and printed, with the most common foods/dishes translated (in Catalan and Euskara!).

Can anyone help?

Here's a link to a list which you could print (both Spanish-English and English-Spanish):

seems workable for catalan.
For Euskara I ordered a phrasebook and dictionary from Amazon and it has alot of food terms.

That's a great link thanks! I printed it out for my own trip. :)

Yes, many thanks. Do you recall the name of the Euskara phrasebook, I am not seeing anything quite like that on Amazon?

It is " Basque -English English -Basque Dictionary and Phrasebook " by JF Conroy.
I am envious of your June trip; I am not going until Sept.
