Marketing - Cooking / Culinary / Restaurant menus | | Italian term or phrase: caffe corretto | | Does this get translated? I have not seen it in bars outside of Italy or Europe!!!! |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseKimberly Wastler: 12:26pm Jun 22, 2006: FWIW: it's illegal in France (it's illegal to serve alcohol in coffee).
Kimmy: 12:34pm Jun 22, 2006: I am in Australia - but this is for a European client! Thanks anyway! As for it being illegal in France, I am gobsmacked!!!!
Kimberly Wastler: 12:43pm Jun 22, 2006: So were my friends when they tried to order it (they tried in a number of places just to see if the bartender was pulling their legs or not) - the "best" they can do is serve you a cup of coffee and a shot. You get to choose to pour it in or not. Trivia!

| "corrected coffee"
Explanation:
I've already agreed with David, leaving it in Italian is probably the best version, but since you are in Australia, according to your contest, I'd dare to use "corrected coffee", always providing an explanation, like (with a shot of liqueur - it could be grappa or anything else). I lived in Australia for a while, and I'm not sure, but I think I heard it somewhere...maybe it was just a translation made by some of the many Italians who live there...but why not?
