Il vero Alfredo

As these pages print it.

The golden fork and spoon

The fork and the spoon are described three ways. The splash says the World-renowned Golden Fork and Spoon. The history page says a fork and a spoon of solid gold, and it quotes a dedication. The English article page says a golden fork and spoon, given as a present. The small image on the splash has its own alt, Forchette d' oro.

The dedication is the only engraved sentence these pages quote. It says To Alfredo the King of the noodles. It does not say Emperor.

The splash names the givers

The splash sentence says the fettuccine are mixed with the World-renowned Golden Fork and Spoon presented to him by Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. Presented to him is the verb. The two names are in that order: Mary Pickford, then Douglas Fairbanks. They are not described as actors in this sentence. They are not said to be on a honeymoon in this sentence.

Golden Fork and Spoon is capitalised. World-renowned is hyphenated and capitalised. The sentence does not say solid gold. It does not quote an engraving. The note on the only place quotes the rest of the same sentence, including Remember ! and Magic Hands.

The image of the forks sits in the yellow band. The file is images/fork_gif_small.gif. The alt is Forchette d' oro. There is a space between the apostrophe and oro. Forchette is plural. d' oro is not Golden Fork and Spoon, and it is not in English. The alt does not mention a spoon.

No size, weight, or year is printed next to that image. The width and height in the tag are 85 and 56. Those are the image attributes, not a description of the metal.

gold fork and a gold spoon

The history page quotes the metal

The history page calls Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford the two famous American actors of the silent film. American is capitalised here. On the English article page, american is not. The order of the names is also reversed from the splash: Fairbanks first, then Pickford.

They tasted his delicious and original dishes during their honeymoon in Rome, in his restaurant in Via della Scrofa, and made him a gift of two gold tableware. two gold tableware is the phrase as printed, not two pieces of gold tableware. The page calls this a tribute to his friendly and warm welcome.

It then says: This is a fork and a spoon of solid gold engraved with a dedication. The dedication is printed in bold: To Alfredo the King of the noodles. A closing quote follows the strong tag. King is capitalised. noodles is not. The page does not say the engraving includes a date.

The dedication is read by every famous person who had the honor to try the Maestosissime Fettuccine. The page names no other famous person. The note on the moustache picks up the later line, where the same pages say he came to be known not as the King, but as the Emperor of Fettuccine.

The English page's shorter version

index-eng.htm says the popular couple of american actors, Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, after eating the majestic dish, gave as present to Alfredo a golden fork and spoon. golden is lower case. fork and spoon are lower case. gave as present is the whole verb. The page does not say solid gold, and it does not quote To Alfredo the King of the noodles.

It does not say Via della Scrofa. It does not say honeymoon. It says the fettuccine have been known since twenties, and that from then the creative man let eat his gastronomic creation to his special and important guests with them. with them refers to the fork and spoon in that sentence.

The object under the paragraph is a Flash embed. The file in the archive is /youtube.com/v/V7xjrCDrqS0, with the query fs=1 and hl=it_IT. The param still points at a youtube.com movie address. The visible page does not print a title for the film. It does not say the film shows the fork.

So the English page has the two names, the majestic dish, and a golden fork and spoon. The engraving and the words King of the noodles are on the history page only. The portrait note is a different object again: Alfredo III° under the splash photograph, not under the fork image.

King of the noodles, not yet Emperor

The dedication says King. The splash title says imperatore delle fettuccine, in lower case after the hyphen. The history title says l'Imperatore delle fettuccine. The history body says that over time this character will have the merit to be known not as the King, but as the Emperor of Fettuccine.

King in that sentence and King in the dedication are the same word, and the page treats the Emperor line as later. It does not say the engraving was changed. It says the character came to be known not as the King, but as the Emperor. The dedication quote stays To Alfredo the King of the noodles.

Maestosissime Fettuccine is capitalised on both words. The splash says Famous Fettuccine all'Alfredo, with Famous and Fettuccine capitalised and all'Alfredo in the same quoted dish name. The English page says famous Alfredo's fettuccine, with only Alfredo's capitalised. Three dish names, three patterns of capitals. None of them is printed on the fork image's alt. The alt remains Forchette d' oro.

The history page does not mention the file fork_gif_small.gif. The splash does not mention solid gold or the dedication. Each page has the part it prints.

What is not engraved, on these pages

No page prints a second line of the dedication. No page prints the Italian for the dedication under the English quote. No page says the fork and the spoon were given in a particular year. The honeymoon is undated. since twenties is undated. 1908 is the birth. 1950 is the new restaurant. Neither year is attached, on these pages, to the day of the gift.

No page names another actor in the silent film. The celebrities word in the navigation is plain text. The page galleria/celebrities.html is not in the archive, so this note does not supply the names that page might once have listed.

two gold tableware stays plural and slightly unfinished, because that is the history wording. The Flash file does not print the dedication. The page does not say the spoon outweighs the fork. A fork and a spoon of solid gold is the next sentence, and it is the sentence that settles the number at two objects. The 1908 note is about butter and Parmesan in the first dish, not about the gold.
