The terms have gotten to be mostly interchangeable. I just looked at a
recipe for roast chicken that said to bake it at 350 F for an hour.
Otherwise, I think of roasting being done at a higher temperature than
baking, roasting having a greater contribution of radiant heating, while
baking is mostly convective heating.
The OED says for "roast"
a. trans. To make (flesh or other food) ready for eating by prolonged exposure
to heat at or before a fire.
Also freq. in mod. use, to cook (meat) in an oven, for which the more original
term is bake.
which also conveys the idea of "roasting" with radiant heat.

According to the cooking encyclopedia at foodtv.com: roast v. To oven-cook
food in an uncovered pan, a method that usually produces a well- browned
exterior and ideally a moist interior.

"Roast" to me implies higher heat than "bake." When you're roasting potatoes,
you're trying to brown the exposed bits of the inside. When you're baking
them, you don't really care about browning anything -- the point is just to
cook it through.
Then again, bread and some cakes brown when you cook them, and I don't talk
about roasting them.
More to the point, who cares?

(From walks, to lunches, to roasted potatoes! What great drift it is...)

So what is roasted garlic - is that cut up into pieces first?
Baked chicken is covered and roasted chicken is not? Can one roast a fish
in the oven? I wonder whether some restaurant did not deliberately start
using the word roast (which used to be done only to something you could skewer
over a fire or cook in ashes) to make vegetables sound more expensive by
association with meat. Apparently some sorts of meat were cooked in a closed
oven even by people cooking in fireplaces, such as baked ham (did it not cook
as well on a spit?). Or meatloaf (hard to skewer). Other than meat and
potatoes, what can be cooked over an open fire? Doughboys - are those
roasted? (At summer camp ours were generally raw when eaten).

Since you're a translator, you've presumably noticed this, but English isn't
always consistent, and frequently has at least two words for the same thing.

What is roasted garlic??? It's YUMMY!
Yes, the cut up into pieces thing seems to apply mostly to potatoes.

Why do the words "futile quest" look so right next to "keesan"? :)

Anybody want to suggest a restaurant or two? Otherwise I'll just pick some
stuff from the usual list.

I'd like to try the vegetarian Indian restaraunt that's in the building
where Delong's Barbeque Pit used to be (next to the Farmer's Market). But
they have no seating, so it would have to be a warm sunny day. Maybe that
should wait until summer.
We haven't been to Casey's in a while, so I'll vote for that. And wasn't
there talk of a Thai restaraunt out toward Ypsi?

Carol would like to go to Del Rio sometime (we haven't been in a while), and
also the Creekside (at the corner of Jackson & Zeeb), but we're not sure if
they do lunch on Saturday.

Re #142: The Indian place is called Mysore Woodlands, and it's good -- but
if you like hot food, make sure you tell them because they make
stuff mild by default for Americans.

Today's walkers were danr and krj. I took danr's exit at the top
of the Arboretum and walked downtown with him, rather than
complete the usual circuit by myself. I picked through Schoolkids
and Encore for a bit while waiting for lunch time, and then I waited
at Cottage Inn from 12:05 to 12:35. I never saw anyone else
at the restaurant, so I settled for a sidewalk
vendor, and then I hiked over to the farmers' market.

I forgot to mention the baby geese at Gallup Park. danr and I saw
one batch as we set off on the walk, and when Leslie brought me back
to get my car we saw four batches, one with 22 baby geese.

I must have just missed krj at Cottage Inn, as I arrived there just after
12:30, and hung around the area, wandering in and out, until about 5 to
one, never seeing any other Grexers I could identify.
