Travelling To Spanish-speaking Country Help Please!

[mamatide]

Hi all,

I'm leaving Friday with my family and although the majority of the staff at the resort we're visiting will speak English, I'd like to be able to clearly communicate with the cooking staff so that my 5yo DD will be able to enjoy her trip... Her only intolerance is to gluten.

Can anyone help me to translate the following questions to Spanish? (please don't mix my questions and your answers - I know very very (very ) little Spanish!!! I'm trusting you!

Oh, and if you can add any questions I'm not thinking of feel free to add your own.

1. My daughter cannot eat anything containing wheat (enriched flour, white flour, wheat flour), rye (malt), barley or oats or she will get very ill. She cannot eat bread, cookies, baked goods, pasta, soya sauce, cereal prepared with these ingredients. Even one small crumb of bread will make her ill for days.

2. Does that have any sauce or seasoning on it that contains any of the above ingredients? Is it marinated during preparation?

3. Can you please clean the grill before making her food?

4. Can I please read the ingredients for this?

5. Can you please use a clean pan before making her food?

Thanking you profusely in advance.

Unfortunatley I can't help with the translation but if you look at Open Original Shared Link they have printable cards that are in various languages.

Good luck and enjoy your holiday.

The book Let's Eat Out has a whole section on different languages. If you can find that in a store you could copy them.

Also, if you can find staff that speak English you could either ask them to communicate with the kitchen or ask them to translate. I went to Mexico and was very surprised at how many people spoke English. I talked to the main chef who spoke perfect English and he communicated with the rest of the kitchen staff. They bent over backwards to make me safe food and I had a great time.

Enjoy your trip.

The travel cards that many of us order are written in Spanish on the back. They're called Triumph Dining Cards. Maybe you can get an express order.
