VIENNOISERIE [1 record]

Record 1 2018-03-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Breadmaking
OBS

According to the translators of the English section in Montreal that we have consulted, "Vienna bakery product" sounds too much like a trademark and "Viennese bread products" would be more appropriate. A generic term like the French "viennoiserie" doesn't exist in English.

OBS

We personally think that it is preferable to borrow the French word "viennoiserie" in English. It is more elegant and, like other culinary expressions, such as "quiche lorraine", it can hardly be translated because of its proper name nature.
