I've wikified a lot of this, but I'm still not sure how to translate it into English. RickK 06:50, 29 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Hi. I've just done a large-scale edit and translation into English from the Catalan wiki. I'm not quite sure, however, how the culinary section should be translated; "masked potatoes" and "squared corn" don't sound right. The entire section might be unnecessary. acomas 17:15, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
