About this ebook

You know how it is when you go into a restaurant or a food store in a foreign country and try to figure out what’s on the menu or decipher the food packages or signs. It can be frustrating and confusing. What are all these dishes in this little café? What do those signs on the bakery products mean? What’s in this can? What kind of meat is this?

By the same token, employees of restaurants, cafes, bars, and food companies in the country often have a tough time finding the correct words when they translate their menus, signs and packaging into English. Added to which is the free and merry way that English uses nouns as adjectives, something rarely done in other languages.

The present “Macedonian Food & Menu Guide” seeks to ameliorate the difficulties of both sides. With this Guide to aid them, English-speaking tourists will find it much easier to decipher Macedonian menus and signs; expats will be able to shop for food and read recipes more adeptly; restaurant employees will be able to put their menus into English more confidently and correctly; and food industry personnel will be able to more accurately describe their products for export.

In whichever group you happen to be, we sincerely hope that this Food and Menu Guide will help you to achieve your purpose both quickly and easily.

    HOW TO USE THE GUIDE

    It’s a piece of cake. (Тоа е многу лесно.)

    All of the Macedonian words and terms, together with their English equivalents, are arranged in Macedonian alphabetic order.

    At the beginning of each Macedonian letter group there is a Macedonian alphabet bar with clickable links to all the other letters.

    Pronunciation of the Macedonian words is not given, but there is a chart of Macedonian phonetic pronunciation in Appendix 1 at the back of the book.

    Добар апетит! DO-bar A-pe-teet! (Good appetite!)
