torrezno. (De torrar). 1. m. Pedazo de tocino frito o para freír.[*] (Diccionario de la Real Académia Española)
The recipe for sopa de ajo in the cookbook of her grandmother's recipes which e. gave me last week calls for "unos torreznos". I asked her point-blank what a torrezno was and she told me, "I don't know." A likely story! She could only have been trying to weasel out of having to make it for me.

[*] Translation: "Piece of BACON FAT, fried or for frying."

Mea culpa

Guess I will need to have you over for properly apologetic (and bacony)garlic soup.

I really need to get my own copy of the Real Academia.

If you can get one at no cost through your mother or something. Otherwise do what I do and use the online version.

In the meantime, I think [livejournal.com profile] bunj's research assignment should be to learn all pork-related terminology past and present, standard and regional before your next trip to Spain. If there's a Leonese slang term for "snack made with meaty bits from a pig's trotter", then, for the benefit of all of us, he needs to know it.

It's not without reason that the vast majority of my Spanish vocabulary has to do with food.

chorizo and morcilla. I'm sure there are others, but, really, are they necessary?

Knowing what a fan of butifarra I am, how can you expect me to say yes to that?
