Spanish term

comida de encanto

Spanish to English Other Cooking / Culinary
one item in a list of things one gets when one purchases a ski package at a ski resort; looks to me like it means snack(s) since one can get this at the "restaurante de pista" on the ski slopes.

Discussion

Cecilia Gowar Feb 21, 2009:
Means for whom??? The author and those he or she enlightened? The expression makes no sense to me, has no hits and does not seem to be acknowledged or recorded anywhere.
Carol Gullidge Feb 21, 2009:
thanks tbodine! That's a new one for MY glossary at least!!
Tom Bodine (asker) Feb 21, 2009:
comida de encanto The outsourcer who provided me the text and who is closer to the source has informed me that the term "de encanto" means a waited meal, i.e. a meal with table service. Thanks for your ideas.
Carol Gullidge Feb 21, 2009:
hi tbodine: if you found the answer elsewhere, for the sake of the Glossary and our curiosity, it would be nice if you were to tell us what the chosen answer is. It's the least you could do to "thank" all those who have tried to help you...
Carol Gullidge Feb 20, 2009:
why "snack"?. You can get some truly wonderful meals up the slopes - depending on where you are of course. Somehow "encanto" doesn't collocate with "snack"
teju Feb 20, 2009:
Do you have any other information? It sounds like a very unusual way to describe a snack.

suprise snack

You reasoning for "snack" seems to be solid. In addition, though, we have "encanto" which can be translated as "magic" or, I believe, in combination with "snack" a "surprise."

enchanting meal

I would use "meal" instead of dinner. I found this on an advertisement: "Sample fine delicacies, sip steaming cups of tea and relax with your family at an enchanting meal. Adventures By Disney Brochure & Video.... "

a fabulous/superb meal

"enhanting" and "meal" also don't really collocate to my ears, even for tourism blurb.

or "an excellent meal"

Didn't realise I'd clicked the button!

Was going to say "delightful meal" perhaps captures the other sense of "encanto", but I feel this is marginally weaker in English as part of a publicity campaign

fine dining

OK, given the lack of further context (and for that reason conf. level is only 4), and in a total departure from the "snack" idea, how about considering the opposite?
Following are a number of ref pages so you can "see" what I mean and so that you can compare usage patterns and context to your own doc.

mouthwatering meal

I'm going for a more creative kind of answer, given that there's so little context and more literal versions of encanto have been offered ...

or as an alternative -- mouthwatering munchies -- 24,400 Google entries for that one -- & 'mouthwatering' can also be 'mouth-watering'

mere suggestions -- and hope they help --

charming food

No creo que se trate de snacks. Y sí, suena extraño en castellano, debe de ser una versión traducida de lo que propongo arriba o del francés "de charme"....
