Hola tengo una duda con la siguiente expresión:

Often, we get caught up in the many delicious options each iftar brings, but we don’t need a fresh pot of food each day.

Lo traduciría como una "olla reciente de alimentos"? Quizás?

Agradezco sus comentarios y respuestas.

Saludos

    Interesante porque en inglés (AmE) “fresh pot of food” suena raro. Tal vez es algo común entre los musulmanes. Aquí suele decir “fresh pot of coffee.”

    The English sounds OK to me too.

    I figured she was because she used whilst many times in her various articles. It was the only revealing clue, but that could have included Australia, NZ, Malaysia, or Canada too.

    I agree Bev, her English is impeccable. She writes very well. I just don't hear fresh pot of food over here. However, a fresh pot of beans...yes! Freshly cooked pots of food sounds more what I would expect to hear.

    Yo diría algo como "A menudo, nos dejamos llevar por las numerosas y deliciosas opciones que trae cada iftar, pero no necesitamos una olla fresca de comida cada día."

    Does "fresh" actually mean "different" or even "new" here?

    I'm guessing she means a freshly-prepared meal (made the same day), and most probably a different type of food to the previous night's iftar meal. I think she's advocating that eating last night's leftovers is far less wasteful.
