Spanish to English Food Glossary???

I am a big fan of the Patrica Wells French to English Food Glossary. I carried it with me all through Paris and it saved me from making some food choices I would have not been able to stomach.

As I plan for our trip to Madrid next week I realize how difficult it's going to be for us to understand what it is we're ordering.

Is there something out there similar to her glossary but for Spanish that I can tuck away in my purse and break out as needed? I do have a small translation dictionary for the basics but food descriptions are so unique sometimes.

Thanks in advance - I will be posting reports when I get back!

    There is a document which did the rounds a few years ago. If you want to email me at mr_gimlet at hotmail dot com I can send it on

      If you have an I-Phone or smart phone check out the apps.

      I found one where you take a picture of the menu and it translates it for you and it was a free app. I haven't used it yet tho' so I don't know how it works.

      Good luck.
