Italian term

Rinforzato con Rustici

Italian to English Other Food & Drink catering services
This appears in a list of catering services offered by a travel company in a specific resort. The resort is in the mountains in Italy and I presume the Rustici is referring to local/produce or specialities, so my rendering is Cocktails with the addition of local liqueurs or something like that.

Could someone confirm that 'Rustici' does indeed mean local produce?

TIA

Lara Barnett Oct 16, 2016:
Potent? What about "potent cocktails with Rustici, Italian filled puff pastry treats"

But having said that, is this a title on a menu, or part of a longer text?
Helen Pringle Oct 16, 2016:
Or we could really go silly and say "cocktails and rustici hors d'oeuvres" - and ignore the English (sorry - no offence meant), but the world is becoming globalised through languages.
GillW (MCIL) (asker) Oct 16, 2016:
just to say that the full phrase is 'Cocktails rinforzati con rustici"
Shabelula Oct 16, 2016:
oh ok they look pretty similar to me!
Barbara Carrara Oct 16, 2016:
Gill Where do the cocktails and liqueurs come from?
Does this refer to an 'aperitivo rinforzato'?
Can you please post the sentence where the phrase appears?
Thanks.
Lara Barnett Oct 16, 2016:
@ Raffaela Not scone. A scone uses a completely different mixture than pastry does. A scone has a sponge texture like bread or cakes.
Shabelula Oct 16, 2016:
yes, vaguely resembling scones
Shabelula Oct 16, 2016:
cerca "rustici salati immagini" su google e vedrai cosa sono

swollen pastry tubes with filling, usually cheese, ham, vegetables

scones?
Helen Pringle Oct 16, 2016:
Sorry - rustici :-) ...
Helen Pringle Oct 16, 2016:
ristoco If you google "rustici da mangiare" you can get an idea of what they are.

Puff pastry snack (as a gloss)

I would use the Italian term and then a very brief gloss or term to cover the meaning. e.g.
"Rustici, an Italian puff pastry snack filled with...., "

Or try "puff pastry TREATS" (sounds better than snack)

Peer comment(s):

neutral writeaway : puff pastry snack isn't enough of an explanation. you need the words savoury, Salento etc. the idea is right (puff pastry) but Asker will have to try and work out a suitable English explanation (keeping the Italian of course as you say).

Thank you.
neutral giuseppina franich : As Laura points out you need to explain that it is a pastry typical of the Salento area-Unless it is explained somewhere else

However once would gloss this, of course. I was not providing the gloss itself in my answer (as you will see), but the main term.

with an addition of rustici / scones

as found in images, they look very similar, though in Italy we would not put butter in them
Peer comment(s):

disagree Lara Barnett : These are nothing like scones. This is a scone: http://www.rinkoffbakery.co.uk/products/items/wholemeal-scon...

A rustico (plural: rustici) is an Italian snack of Salento made with puff pastry and a stuffing that varies style by style. A common preparation is puff pastry, tomato and mozzarella.[2] It is part of the Salentine street food tradition and is possible see it in each Apulian bar, bakery and rotisserie. It is produced with two discs of puff pastry,the lower disk is of about 10 cm (approximately 4 inch) in diameter and the upper one of 12 cm (about 5 inch), to which adds cheese and tomato. Then it is brushed with egg and baked in the oven. Should be eaten warm to best appreciated the taste and the melted mozzarella. In Salento is usually eaten like a snack of mid-morning or evening appetizer, both in summer and winter. It is actually more known the version with wurstel, which is easier recognized by the Northern Italy (perhaps to the influence of Austrians).
