    Beidh sutha torthai agus smudairi a réiteach ag Mairin.

    (Sorry can't get fada for i and u)

    I know torthai means fruit and I'm thinking sutha is a version of su for raspberry/strawberry? I can't work out sutha torthai though:(

    Also I looked in Foclóir Ui Dhonaill and can't find anything for smudairi.. would it be smoothie??

    Thanks. It was in Foinse. I'm still not clear on what the sentence meant. Smudairi seems like an odd word, I can't find it in the dictionary. Caoineog is the word that focal.ie gives for smoothie.

    There will be berries fruits and smudairi being prepared by Mairin? :confused:

    I don't have the link to hand but on achmhainn.ie there is a brilliant glossary of food and drink terms! It's brilliant, I'm printing it off and making a little dictonary of it. There are terms on that site for loads of other themes and they're pretty comprehensive (to say the least! :)) Scary in a way, they've translated names of countries I've never even heard of even!
