Buongiorno a tutti,
qualcuno di voi sa come si chiama in gergo la carta paglia? Ho provato a cercarla sui dizionari senza però trovare alcun indizio. Credo sia quella carta assorbente su cui si mettono le fritture e spesso, come nel mio caso, il cibo al ristorante viene presentati proprio sopra un foglio di questa carta, oltre al piatto s'intende!
Se vi può servire vi riporto la frase in questione:
"Presentazione del piatto: porre la mozzarella in carrozza ben calda sopra un foglio di carta paglia"
Grazie a tutti e buon lavoro,
Maura

... Fry them in plenty of lard oil until they become bright gold coloured. Then spread a few napkins or some straw paper in a plate, and place the fringes on the top of them ...

: E' "cartasùga", non carta paglia. Si usa per asciugare inchiostro non cibo - ma devi avere una certa età per distinguere ... sei troppo giovane!

This is what's usually put in recipes where esp. fried food is to be placed: is food grade straw paper is generally available, e.g. in UK?

Carta paglia
� chiamata anche carta da macellai: viene utilizzata per avvolgere alimenti quali la carne ed il pollame. Si impiega quasi sempre con la carta oleata. � fabbricata con la paglia di grano e si riconosce per il caratteristico colore giallo e per lo spessore consistente. Tende ad essere sostituita da apposita carta per alimenti con una faccia plastificata.

Angela Arnone
: That's like kitchen roll - "carta paglia" is made from wheat straw, not from pulp so it's different. Also Maura is talking about serving: you wouldn't serve on kitchen roll ... I agree that "straw paper" isn't a common term in English though

no, I realise that - but surely it would have to be food grade quality, and I just mean I'm not sure that it's generally known about or available...

: "Straw paper" items are probably very hard to find in UK stores and any would almost certainly be imported. The UK is a very low producer/user of straw paper – Italy is more advanced with straw-pulp paper, (almost) making it strong enough for newsprint.

Thank you Robert, interesting - but I suppose that's what I mean - not sure if it's used in US (etc.) but I don't think a UK readership would know what was meant
