Rips

French to English Other Food & Drink Restaurant menu - Belgium
Only this word, under the "meat" section on a menu. No picture, no explanation. I cannot find it through Google, not sure what I am doing wrong! Is it supposed to be "ribs"??
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

riBs It is indeed highly likely to be 'ribs', especially if the writer is under the influence not just of alcohol, which tends to be my case whenever I'm exposed to Belgium and its beers, but also of a Germanic language. " when the German consonant 'b' appears at the end of a word it is pronounced as a /p/." http://joycep.myweb.port.ac.uk/pronounce/consonb.html

Probably, yes! You'd be surprised how often this spelling mistake crops up on menus.
