minutas Explanation: mi sugerencia es mantener el nombre con una referencia al plato típico, pudiendo puntuar el nombre de cada elemento (steak, fries, rice, egg and salad) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2020-07-16 13:49:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ....a minuta has NOTHING related to fast-foods |

quick meals Explanation: that's it -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2020-07-16 04:22:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- What are minutas? Think of them as Argentinian fast food. They are a reliable set of dishes that are simple, popular, quick-to-prepare (as quick as a meal in Argentina gets), and often available at all hours. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2020-07-16 04:29:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- in your context you might go with "fast food" but in Argentina that's McDonalds and that doesn't cut it here -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2020-07-16 04:32:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- any native English-speaker will relate to "quick meal" much more than to "fast-food" in your context -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2020-07-16 08:35:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Forget the US culture of queuing at a counter and taking away paper cups of French fries; these short-order dishes are served as a sit-down meal, with china plates and waiter service. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2020-07-16 08:38:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Love it and a quick way of having lunch with waiter service. Before the lockdown this was my regular way of getting a quick lunch :) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2020-07-16 08:40:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- viva Buenos Aires :) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2020-07-16 10:05:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "short-order" is good in this context -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 hrs (2020-07-16 19:44:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- n cualquier ciudad de la extensa geografía argentina, mientras caminamos por sus calles, encontraremos una gran variedad de restaurantes y casas de comidas que nos sorprenderán ofreciendo en su menú o en las pizarras puestas en el ingreso, las minutas argentinas. Estas ya son un clásico de cocina argentina y constituyen la principal elección para aquellos que son concurrentes habituales en los restaurantes. Elegir un plato de la lista de minutas, es casi como comer en casa. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2020-07-20 12:41:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or "ready-to-serve meals" me gusta más -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2020-07-20 12:43:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ready-to-serve foods are prepared meals |
