SI VUELA A LA CAZUELA

Spanish to English Other Food & Drink Spanish menu
Dear colleagues,

I'm looking for creative suggestions (preferably a rhyme, if at all possible, such as the source text) for this title of a dish on a menu with the following description: Alitas de pollo deshuesadas y asadas a la brasa con romesco

Thanks in advance for your answers.

@ All Thank you all so much for your help. Have a great Sunday!
philgoddard Jul 20, 2023:
I would say either 'Si vuela a la cazuela' or just 'Cazuela'. Menus commonly have the name of the dish in the original language followed by an English explanation. You wouldn't translate 'patatas bravas', for example.
Andrew Darling (asker) Jul 20, 2023:
Thanks for the example Taña.
Andrew Darling (asker) Jul 20, 2023:
@Phil Thanks for your comment. It appears to be the name of the dish, as all of the dishes have a title followed by a brief description.

Here is one example of the use of "volar a la cazuela". Caracoles en salsa Receta de la Abuela
https://larecetadelaabuela.com/recipe/caracoles-en-salsa-rec...
Es preciso que seamos muy minuciosos en el lavado , usando para ello un escurre pasta. Los lavaremos a conciencia debajo del chorro de agua fría, durante unos minutos, o hasta que el agua salga limpia. Antes de cocerlos, los dejaremos en remojo unos instantes con un pellizco generoso de sal. Seguidamente, volveremos a aclararlos. En este momento estarán listo para **volar a la cazuela.**

Isn't this a comment on a dish, rather than its name?
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cazuela
If so, I'd just say "cazuela" rather than wrestling with complicated Spanish wordplay.

Hot to trot ! (Boneless grilled chicken wings in Romesco sauce)

PG is right, it's more a comment on a dish , rather than a title;
Something like 'hot to trot' might work here, with a bit of creative licence.

It is necessary to be very meticulous in the washing process, using a pasta squeegee. Wash them thoroughly under cold running water for a few minutes, or until the water runs clear. Before cooking, leave them to soak for a short while, adding a generous pinch of salt. Then rinse them again. At this point they are hot to trot, (i.e, ready to be "fired into" the casserole dish).

flock to the pot

Just an idea, perhaps you can take it from there...

Leave it in Spanish

See the discussion box.

I'd feel silly ordering Flock to the Pot or Hot to Trot in a restaurant.

agree Andrew Bramhall : Well said, Phil;

agree Adoración Bodoque Martínez : Terrible name for a chicken-wing dish! Maybe the restaurant would be better off if people did not understand what it means. Apart from the fact that chickens can't fly, it literally means that they will just add to it anything that flies.
