I've got a private "game" for ingredient lists and similar: I try to figure
out what it means in the most exotic language to me, if that fails, I look
at the second most exotic lang, und so weiter.

I get bonus points for getting it in a Romance language, good for Dutch, and
okay grade for German. If I have to check the English or Scandinavian
versions, I've failed. Finnish is usually not worth trying!
