Girarrosto Explanation: “Girarrosto” is best left untranslated. The term is used for referring to a type of rotating grill, but also to the cuisine (roasted bird meat) prepared with such a grill. Here are a few references: http://birdnet.zarf.com/archive/0104/010426.htm “Girarrosto means only roasted on a rotating grille." http://www.e-rcps.com/pasta/main/meat/pork_rst_fl.shtml “The best is roasted on a rotating spit, a girarrosto, before the fire, but it is also put into the bread oven after the bread comes out.” http://birdnet.zarf.com/archive/0104/010423.htm “My wife Lyn , who lived in Italy for over four years and acquired a good knowledge of the language and customs of the people during the late 1960's ; assures me that anything with feathers is trapped or shot for food in that country. She agrees fully with Len Fish on his interpretation of the various edible birds available in that part of the world . And when shown the name 'girarrosto', immediately came up with the obvious answer --- a general term meaning "spit roast" -- Gyrating Roast-- “ http://www.epicurious.com/g_gourmet/g04_italy/italy/roast.ht... “Signor Ugo Frilli was inspired in the 1920s by a French mechanical roaster from the 1800s. He made a few improvements and began manufacturing his girarrosto (spit-roaster).” Fuad See citations above |
