Dutch term or phrase: champignon kwaliteit 'hotel'
I am currently translating a very short marketing text on mushrooms, and am having problems with the use of the term 'hotel'.

The complete sentence is as follows:

[company name] brengt een goede kwaliteit van champignonconserven op de markt, verpakt in zowel glas als blik.
De kwaliteiten zijn: Mini champignons, Hele, Gesneden en Hotel.

I am not familiar with translating texts on conserved/preserved vegetables - can 'hotel' simply be translated as 'hotel'?

All suggestions welcome - KudoZ points will be awarded asap.

Many thanks,

Pikey

Just a suggestion. This is a new one on me. Maybe "catering" quality?

The client was happy with 'catering quality', although I agree it is a little strange that they switched from talking about whole and sliced mushrooms to the quality of mushrooms. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions!

agree  writeaway: makes sense but has more to do with quantity than quality (altho sometimes more is better)

Mushroom cap?


Explanation:
Dit is echt een uit de lucht gegrepen idee, maar zou het te maken kunnen hebben met alleen maar de hoed van de champignon? Ik vind het een beetje vreemd dat ze in een opsomming van "heel, gesneden en...." opeens over de kwaliteit gaan praten, dus misschien betekent het alleen de champignonhoedjes, nadat de steel verwijderd is. Heel lekker met een beetje knoflookboter in de oven.... mmmm (het is lunchtijd hier in de UK).

Veel succes!

agree  Tina Vonhof (X): My thoughts exactly. Mushroom caps can be stuffed with all kinds of things and served at buffets, receptions etc.
