I'm not so much looking for a transalation as trying to make sure I'm not missing some obvious parasllel that I don't know. I would feel stupid if I spent half a psge explaining in complicated detail what it is, and then someone looks at it and says "Oh, it's like polonies."  

Also, something to suggest as substitutes if anyone wants to serve a feast themed like that.
