Roger Thijs schreef: I'm always amazed when finding "technical vocabulary",
one generally doesn't
find in dictionaries.   New to me in the text below (in Dutch) are:
gastrique, choron, foyote, tyrolienne.

When looking at the article, I noticed that all four words are in inverted
commas (aanhalingstekens).  That shows that they are not considered to be
genuine Dutch / Flemish words, but 'loan words' from another language.
'Gastrique' and tyrolienne' sound like good French to me, but then, I'm not
an expert on French.
When writing or translating something, it occasionally happens that one word
from another language describes (better or shorter) what we exactly want to
say.  So, that's when this feature is used, rather than, for example, using
a longer phrase to the same effect.
