I've been there Wendy. I know the feeling well.

I imagine after eating the 2nd or third slice, you would have to force the next couple down your throat!

Mark, I think it is a question of having to force themselves to eat so many slices. (cramming or stuffing the slices of cake down their throats) So 'we'll each have six . . ' doesn't give that sense of having to force themselves to do it.

The same as the original translation OR Charles – Okay, so we'll each help ourselves to six slices of galette.

I'm not familiar with the term 'to cram down'. How about: Charles – Okay, so we'll each have six slices of galette.

sorry to be 'pingelig', but I think it would work even better with 'have to'.

Thanks, marina and Wendy.

Agree with Marina using 'cram down' :))

by Merlin57 12 months ago

Upvoted. "se taper" the meaning might be enhanced : we'll each have to eat six .../ we'll each cram down six... ?
