I googled spalloncino and this came up: one of the best examples of "translation" I've seen:
Spalloncino di Vitello al Grechetto con Fagiolini Saltati(1歳の子牛肉、インゲンのソテー)
テーブルには『本日のメニュー』があり、イタリア語と英語で書かれてあった。でも、機械翻訳らしく、妙な英語になっていて大笑い。この英語訳はこう。「Spalloncino year old calf to the "Grechetto" with string beans it jumps」・・・ジャンプするインゲン豆?
