Spanish term

Clásicos

Spanish to English Other Food & Drink
In a menu:

"Repostería, clásicos y delicias"

Clásicos refers to well-known cakes such as: Lemmon Pie, Selva Negra...

What do you think of using a French term : classique?
It would be: Pastries, classiques and delis.

Any help welcomed.

As this is a menu for tourists, I need terms that would be easily understood by English- speaking people in general (UK, US, Australia, ...). Something neutral. So far, thanks to all of you.
mar52 (asker) Apr 8, 2006:
You are right Rachel. In my context "delicias" are fancy and specialty ice creams and the like. I was thinking about Treats for delicias.
Rachel Fell Apr 8, 2006:
Delis. means delicatessens as far as I know in Eng. - not "postres" at all.

or classic desserts and sweets

puddings in the UK means postres, not necessarily budines, etc., and sweets means postres/delicias, not carameles, in this context

Gâteaux and pastries, traditional desserts and ice cream delights/speciality ice creams/ice cream specialities
