English term or phrase: So RYE NOT stop in soon for a ‘little taste of home”.
Esta oración se encuentra en el texto de un aviso de un deli.

RYE NOT tengo entendido que es una bebida alcoholica. Una especie de "whisky" hecho a base de centeno.

Ayudénme, por favor, a traducir este juego de palabras.

Gracias,

Rualina

Spanish translation:it's a play on words
Explanation:
Rye = pan de centeno (también es whisky, pero en un deli sería el pan, que se usa mucho para sandwiches, especialmente de jamón y queso).

En vez de decir: <Why not stop in> dicen <Rye not stop in>

No creo que el chiste se pueda traducir

suerte,

Explanation:
That´s exactly what this is Rye for Why since rye bread is a fixture in any self-respecting deli.

Try it, you´ll like it!

Ref: I know this really good deli Downtown MIami!

Explanation:
Arreglándolo un poco, lo traduciría así. Claro está que al traducirlo al español pierde mucha esencia pero si hay que hacerlo, éste es mi aporte. Saludos, Sery
