I need help translating a menu Hi guys, I need your help translating a menu. Are these phrases correct? 1) Beef meat strips (or just beef strips?) 2) Can I use the word mesclun salad or would be better to say salad mix to describe just an amount of mixed vegetables? 3) Steamed wheat or cooked wheat? Is there any difference? 4) is it better to say "Nebrodi black pig meat sauce" or "Meat sauce with the Nebrodi black pig"?

I need help translating a menu

Hi guys,
I need your help translating a menu.
Are these phrases correct?

1) Beef meat strips (or just beef strips?) Say: beef strips
2) Can I use the word mesclun salad or would be better to say salad mix to describe just an amount of mixed vegetables? Say: mixed vegetable salad
3) Steamed wheat or cooked wheat? Is there any difference? Say: steamed wheat
4) is it better to say "Nebrodi black pig meat sauce" or "Meat sauce with the Nebrodi black pig"?

Say: Meat sauce with Nebrodi black pork. The word pig has negative connotations for many people and is rarely used in menus.

Use beef strips for simplity, because Beef is meat and you would be repeating yourself. You can say Mesclun to be more deciptive. People will know what type of salada mix you are talking about. Yes the is a difference in Steamed wheat or cooked wheat? “Steamed is cooked briefly in boiling water”. “Where as cooked can be refering to steamed or baked or even grilled.” So Steamed can be the same as cook but it’s not automatically the same. Your last question is entirely up to you. is it better to say "Nebrodi black pig meat sauce" or "Meat sauce with the Nebrodi black pig"?
