  -> so this is a translation one cannot refuse?? thanks!
neutral  James (Jim) Davis: @Vincent Yes but NY isn't the whole world. I remember an American in Switzerland explaining what a pizza was to me 40 years ago and I didn't actually eat one until I came to Italy ten years later and I had come from London. OK for younger people.

  -> sure, Jim, but Martina is translating in 2012.... probably sushi would have created problems for us 20 years ago, and spaghetti to our great-grandparents :-)
agree  Inter-Tra: antipasto can be everything, therefore I would insert 'affettati', 'cold cuts'/'deli meats'

agree  dandamesh: "antipasto ala italiana" (all'italiana), as seen in a top restaurant/actually there was also "pollo Ala (name of restaurant)" and I thought they ment the brand

  -> Great translation, there.... I wonder whether it was a football or a political wing?

agree  Lorraine Buckley (X): I thought of that too, and yes it is correct, but it seemed not only old-fashioned but strange to use the French word, unless on the menu of a pretentious "international" restaurant
