Italian term or phrase: carta paglia

Buongiorno a tutti,
qualcuno di voi sa come si chiama in gergo la carta paglia? Ho provato a cercarla sui dizionari senza però trovare alcun indizio. Credo sia quella carta assorbente su cui si mettono le fritture e spesso, come nel mio caso, il cibo al ristorante viene presentati proprio sopra un foglio di questa carta, oltre al piatto s'intende!

Se vi può servire vi riporto la frase in questione:
"Presentazione del piatto: porre la mozzarella in carrozza ben calda sopra un foglio di carta paglia"

Grazie a tutti e buon lavoro,
Maura

straw paper

Explanation:
Why not?

... without washing or cleaning them. Wrap each of them in porous and blotting paper. Straw paper would be fine, too. After putting them into glass hermetic jars

... Fry them in plenty of lard oil until they become bright gold coloured. Then spread a few napkins or some straw paper in a plate, and place the fringes on the top of them ...

agree

Caterina Rebecchi: Sì. E' marroncina ed è più elegante (imho) della carta assorbente. Per un'immagine:http://www.velincart.it/tablecloths_paper.htm/Hai ragione può essere di colori diversi. Al ristorante, però, l'ho sempre trovata marrone :)

12 mins

-> Thanks Caterina. I suspect it can be bleached white (and then dyed any colour).

agree

stefania da prato: E' sempre di colore marrone poiché é carta riciclata, molto rustica. Di solito viene utilizzata come coprivassoio o tovaglia ma non dovrebbe essere utilizzata direttamente a contatto con gli alimenti in quanto, appunto, é riciclata..

50 mins

-> Thanks Stefania. It may be made from pure straw pulp, I think. See the EN>ES answer or read Angela's link.

agree

Angela Arnone: http://www.fiberfutures.org/straw/main_pages/07_markets/2_pu... - er ... that tuber site wasn't such a good link!!!

50 mins

-> Thanks for the live link Angela. (The site I gave as reference on EN>ES - but the link wasn't live)

agree

Cara Angela...La tua osservazione la considero un complimento;)visto che la mia carta d'identità é lì puntualmente a ricordarmi che non sono più una fanciulletta:) Ed immagino tu non abbia letto il mio profilo...;) Comunque, ti garantisco che il termine da te proposto, con tutto rispetto, non l'ho mai sentito! Ciao e buon fine settimana

absorbent paper

Explanation:
This is what's usually put in recipes where esp. fried food is to be placed: is food grade straw paper is generally available, e.g. in UK?

Carta paglia

� chiamata anche carta da macellai: viene utilizzata per avvolgere alimenti quali la carne ed il pollame. Si impiega quasi sempre con la carta oleata. � fabbricata con la paglia di grano e si riconosce per il caratteristico colore giallo e per lo spessore consistente. Tende ad essere sostituita da apposita carta per alimenti con una faccia plastificata.

neutral

Angela Arnone: That's like kitchen roll - "carta paglia" is made from wheat straw, not from pulp so it's different. Also Maura is talking about serving: you wouldn't serve on kitchen roll ... I agree that "straw paper" isn't a common term in English though

14 mins

-> no, I realise that - but surely it would have to be food grade quality, and I just mean I'm not sure that it's generally known about or available...

neutral

Robert Tucker: "Straw paper" items are probably very hard to find in UK stores and any would almost certainly be imported. The UK is a very low producer/user of straw paper – Italy is more advanced with straw-pulp paper, (almost) making it strong enough for newsprint.

3 hrs

-> Thank you Robert, interesting - but I suppose that's what I mean - not sure if it's used in US (etc.) but I don't think a UK readership would know what was meant
