Bullens pilsnerkorv

[drakkar]

In Norwegian:

krossade tomater (crushed tomatoes) = hakkede tomater
champinjoner (mushrooms) = sjampinjonger
musslor (mussels) = blåskjell
tonfisk (tuna) = tunfisk
ravioli (ravioli) = ravioli
Bullens pilsnerkorv (canned hot dogs) = Bullens ølpølse
ärtsoppa (yellow-pea soup) = ertesuppe (also common in Norway)

[PeteMork]

English version: Crushed tomatoes, mushrooms, mussels, tuna, ravioli, Bullen's beer sausage , pea soup

OK, so what did you think about Bullen's beer sausage, when you first saw it? (Sounds weird to me in English.)

In the U.S. we have canned 'Vienna Sausages' which is what I initially pictured in my mind.

Yes, it's probably very close. The kind of sausages inside the Bullens pilsnerkorv can is generally called wienerkorv in Swedish, i.e. vienna sausages. The's no beer in the can, by the way, notwithstanding the name (pilsner = pilsener = beer in the pilsen style, Pilsen = Plzeň is a town in the Czech republic, a country known for its beer making).

This is beyond hilarious...
Only on this website a conversation about different nuances from Let The Right One In could turn into discussion about sausages...
I love it...I'm definitely in the right place...

Nightrider, haven't you got the russian translation? What items are listed there?

And to all other members of this site: what does the translation into your particular language list? Come on, I'm curious!

This is the way the list of these items appears in Russian version of the book and it's exact English translation.
There is a few modifications in Russian , but nothing that significantly changes the meaning of the words.

Консервированные помидоры ---- Canned tomatoes (instead of English version's crushed tomatoes)
Шампиньоны ----- Champignons (A type of a mushroom instead of English version's simply mushrooms)
Мидии-----Mussles
Тунец ------ Tuna
Равиоли------ Ravioli
Пивные колбаски ----- Beer sausage (Just beer sausage instead of English version's Bullen's beer sausage)
Гороховый суп ----Pea soup

This reminds me of another untranslatable food word. When I read LTROI in English I didn't think about it but when I read it in Swedish it stuck out. metoo or anyone else, can you translate pitt-i-panna for me? The English says 'bubble and squeak' but that's a British dish and I feel like it's not really a correct translation... basically what I want to know is what is pitt-i-panna, what's in it?

OK, this question is (inadvertently I'm sure) very funny.

First the translation, though. Pytt-i-panna is a dish made of leftover food, mostly meat and potatoes, chopped into small cubes and fried. It is traditionally eaten with a fried egg and pickled beetroots.

To the funny part: pitt is another word for the male genital...

Yes, make sure you get that "y" vowel sound correct when you place your order.
Or maybe stay off the pytt-i-panna altogether (although I like a good pytt-i-panna, a real Swedish classic).

Sounds a lot like bubble-and-squeak. Without the cabbage maybe...
