Este es un ejemplo de "Perdido en la Traducción."
We live just about midway along Fuengirola's Paseo, which is the boulevard that parallels the beach and stretches more than 7 km (4.5 miles). The only permanent structures on the beach are the chiringuitos (beach bars) famous for their fresh seafood, like the sardines that can be seen cooking on spits over open fires. Near the end of the Paseo to the east is a chiringuito, Restaurante Salvador "El Lotero," that is especially popular and often filled to overflowing with Spaniards, which tells me it's probably one of the best. The other day, as I walked by, it looked to me like they were serving up Surf & Turf.
Vivimos a medio camino a lo largo del Paseo de Fuengirola, que es el bulevar que se asemeja a la playa y se extiende más que 7 km (4,5 millas). Las únicas estructuras permanentes en la playa son los chiringuitos (bares de playa) famosos por su marisco fresco, como las sardinas que se pueden ver cocinando en espetos sobre fuegos abiertos. Cerca del final del Paseo al este está un chiringuito, el Restaurante Salvador "El Lotero", que es especialmente popular con los españoles, lo que me dice que es probablemente uno de los mejores. El otro día, mientras caminaba, parecía que se estaban sirviendo Mar Y Tierra — porque hay sardinias en espeto y "beefcake" que es una frase hecha en inglés para un hombre formido. Literalmente es "una tarta de carne de vaca".

| THE BEEFCAKE IS NOT ON THE MENU. EL "BEEFCAKE" NO ESTÁ EN EL MENÚ. |

DeleteI have never seen another chiringuito with this many sardines on the fire, nor with this many on each skewer. And it's consistently like this. I'm guessing they're really good.
Looks like they're serving up surf and turf----and beefcake!
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteI figured the beefcake was the "turf."
As I sit here in 5C with our furnace on I am trying to imagine the warmth you are experiencing. I am a vegetarian but the turf does look good!
ReplyDeleteTake care Mitchell.

DeleteIt's been another summer-like day here. (Sorry!) It's interesting; I've known a lot of vegetarians with a taste for beefcake.
The non-menu items are often the best.
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteI agree.
I love a good chiringuito... good food, good drinks, good atmosphere. I'll pass on the beefcake, though. Not that he'd want the idiot shoving his face full of beer and surf and turf, anyhow.
ReplyDeleteA Beer For The Shower:
DeleteI don't think they actually serve "surf AND turf" -- just "surf." I was referring to HIM as the turf (you know, the meat portion of the meal).
but can he talk politics and philos... oh who the hell cares!

I'd quantum his physique - oh sorry you said physics.
DeleteLovely view!
ReplyDeleteJohn:
DeleteThe Mediterranean Sea as a backdrop makes anything palatable, doesn't it?
NICE!
ReplyDeleteTravel:
DeleteSo you like sardines? Oh, wait, never mind...
So much choice!!
ReplyDeleteRon:
DeleteI know! Hundreds of fish, but only one cut of beef.
