whoops sorry, one more question
This menu is littered with "verduritas". What is that about? Are they just being coy, or do they mean vegetables chopped up small, or what?
Spanish restaurant, btw. Vegetables do not usually figure very largely.

vegetable garnish
Verduritas in Spain can refer to any vegetables. Rather like "greens" in UK, but that doesn't sound appetising either. I don't think it refers to size.

Comment: "Thanks Sheila, I'm pretty sure this is it. Note to Jane: Spanish restaurants are really not big on vegetables. You could get a steak big enough to feed a family, with a pound of chips, and then a dessert-spoonful of ratatouille, or something. It's really not big enough to call a side."

: I think that they're just being cute with "vegetalitos"; it's just vegetables, not specifically chopped nor small.

in fancy restaurants, we say the vegatable
ie
roast beef with asparagus or the Frenchified or French equivalent...
cheaper places, say, WITH A CHOICE OF VEGETABLES at the bottom of the menus
BE that as it may, in this Spanish rendition, they are using a term we really don\'t use.....
good luck! :)

Not very sure, but it could be an informal way of saying vegetables.
