A Frommer's gourmet Barcelona tour, fully illustrated {Gadling}

Oct 9th 2009 10:31AM I have some issues with how the food is described in this piece. If someone is to write a piece about a city, shouldn't the local terminology be used? If a tourist is going to go to a city looking for something specific, they should be aware of the local language.

Tomato bread is known as pa amb tomaquet in Barcelona, not pan con tomate.

Chocolat is made with corn starch, not flour.

Cocas are not open faced sandwiches. They more closely resemble pizzas, but without sauce and a much smaller amount of cheese or none at all. Cocas can also be sweet - either filled, usually with chocolate or custard, or covered with nuts or dried fruits, or both. The only real requirement is that it is a flat pastry, not a sandwich of any kind.

I would hope that if an editor is writing about a city and its food, that they would research the food more thoroughly.
