Растительный антракт or I would say Вегетарианский антракт or even Вегетарианская пауза :)

Funny nature :)

[amnesiac_072]

Thanks! I'm curious, what is the nuance that makes Вегетарианский better?

[ica_luda]

Actually Овощной антракт is more accurate translation, but I like Вегетарианский.

Вегетарианский is usually about food. Растительный is referring to plants that include vegetables too.

[amnesiac_072]

Ah, I see, Растительный might be like "flora" or "vegetal" in English. Вегетарианский does seem better. Thanks again.

)) I heard a beetroot is unpopular in US, isn't it?

[amnesiac_072]

Yeah, American's don't eat beets very much, except in a highly processed form known as "refined sugar"... Beets are sometimes served as a salad garnish, however. Here is an example I found in a local grocery store.

The term "phat" means "cool" in urban slang but also sounds like "fat" of course, so the product name is supposed to be clever. This company also sells spicy pickled green beans labeled "Mean Beans."

How interesting!

I've never looked for it in groceries, but I guess there isn't such "phat beet", however grated carrot buy regularly!))
