Patto's Gourmet Dictionary

Letters B ~ Z are currently being constructed.

EXPLANATIONS:

Spelling: My intention was to represent all words in original spelling, including accents. Some web browsers had problems with earlier versions of this disctionary, but it appears that this Unicode version works on all browsers. But please let me know if you experience any problems displaying European characters and Kanji together.

Japanese romanized spelling: I have converted all data below to Unicode, so Japanese elongated syllables should now correctly display with a macron.

Item: This is the main entry, sorted alphabetically, in any of the 6 languages. If the scientific name of an item is known, I have provided it in this column, bracketed in small italics.

Japanese characters: see Browse Japanese Web Pages on how to get Internet Explorer or Netscape to display Japanese characters.

Origins: Here I have provided the original language or country, together with the form (a: adjective, v: verb, n: noun, nf: feminine, nm: masculine, nn: neutral).

Translations are given where known; in some cases I was unable to find the correct word; sometimes there is simply no word in a specific language. These columns were left empty. If there was no direct translation to any other language, then I have provided a short explanation in English (in parenthesis).
A reference to another entry is done using a little arrow, followed by the correct dictionary entry.

Table width: I know that the table is currently too wide. But every time an item is added, the table layout changes slightly. I will therefore, once all entries are completed, try to adjust the table so that it will fit into one 800-pix full screen. Currently a 1024-pix full screen just does the job.
