<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I recently posted requested that someone who is fluent translate the following Spanish restaurant card: <<Por orden medica me esta prohibido ingerir alimentos que contengan oderiven del trigo, avena, cebada y centeno, (pan, galletas, bolleria,macarrones, fideos, croquetas, malta, embutidos porque pueden conteneralmidon de trigo, etc.)por lo tanto no me esta permitido tomar ningunalimento que este empanado, rebozado o espesado con harina.Puedo tomar maiz, arroz, patatas, verduras, pescados y carnes (todosestos alimentos a la plancha, hervidos, asados, guisados (saldasespesadas con maicena o patata).El aceite usado para los fritos (por ejemplo patatas fritas) tiene queser limpio (que no haya sido utilizado para freir empanados orebozados)para que no este contaminado.Por favor, si tiene alguna duda durante la preparacion de la comida, nodude en preguntarme.Muchas gracias.>> I received several suggestions to use online automated translators such as: www.babelfish.com and http://world.altavista.com/. I also received 3 actual translations. Here they are: <<By medical order it is forbidden to me to eat food containing or derivated from wheat, oats, barley and rye (bread, buiscuits, crackers, noodles, vermiccelli, fritters, malt, sausages as they may have wheat starch, etc)= I must not eat any food covered or Thickened with wheat flour. I may have corn, rice, potatoes, vegetables, fish, meat ( all these grilled, boiled, stew (use corn flour or potatoes to thicken sauces) Oil used to fry (Fried potatoes, for instance) has to be clean (not used before to fry anything containing wheat flour) to avoid contamination. Please, if you have any doubt during meals preparation, do not hesitate to ask me. Thank you.>> and another: <<By medical order, it is prohibited that I ingest foods that contain or are derived from: wheat, oats, barley, and rye (bread, crackers/cookies, macaroons, noodles, croquets, malt, breaded items because they contain wheat, etc.). I am not permitted to eat anything that has been breaded, coated, or stuffed with flour. I can eat corn, rice, potatoes, vegetables, fish, and meats ( all of those which are broiled, pan fired, boiled, grilled, etc. The oil used for frying (for example french fries) must be "clean" (not used to fry any other food item - especially breaded, etc.) otherwise it is considered contaminated. If you have any questions or doubts about food preparation for me, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you very much.>> and another: <<Oh , this is a fun one. I have changed the original in some places because the words were "stuck" together. I put the changes in parenthesis. By medical prescription, I am prohibited from eating foods which contain or are derived from wheat, oats, barley and rye (bread, crackers (& cookies), ????, macaroni, noodles, croquettes(????), malt, sausage because they can contain wheat starch, etc.)therefore I am not permitted to eat any food that is wrapped, rolled, thickened(????) with flour. I can eat corn, rice, potatoes, vegetables, fish and meat (all these foods grilled, boiled, fried, stewed (thickened broth with cornstarch or potato). The oil used for fried items(for example french fries) have to be clean (that would not have been used for frying turnovers, meat pies or pastry to avoid contamination). Please, if you have any doubt during the preparation of the meal, do not hesitate to ask me. Thank you very much.>> I found the original card in the celiac list serv archives using the terms "Spanish restaurant card". Thanks everyone! Heather Oklahoma City, OK USA
