French term or phrase: Boîte à lait
Salve. Ho un vuoto di memoria, sicuramente dovuto all'affaticamento. Non so come tradurre "boîte à lait".
La frase è la seguente: "Ma commande est deposée dans ma boîte à lettre ou bien ma boîte à lait. È una parola tipicamente svizzera (credo tradotta dal tedesco "Milchkasten"). Credo che cassetta del latte non vada bene.
Chi mi dà un consiglio?

Grazie

Notes to answerer
Asker: Ciao Laura. Grazie per il tuo aiuto. Bidone del latte però in questo contesto non è giusto. La "boîte à lait è la parte inferiore della bucalettere. In Svizzera si chiama così perchè ai tempi il lattaio ci depositava il latte. Buonanotte Lorenzo
