We don't have Tamales.....we have Pasteles. Same concept...different name. You have the masa which is platanos verdes..put through the blender..with a some achote...then you have the carne with potatoes prepared how you want it....then you put the meat in the masa....wrap it up in una oja de guineo...and now you have a little rectangle of heaven!

Wow, I didn't know Puerto Ricans had their own version of the tamal. By the way, those buñuelos you put up really brought back memories Bebestylee! I don't see those very much down south. But anyways, pasteles to us are like pastries and down here tortas to the people from Mexico are like sandwiches but Colombians consider them cakes. Go figure! And don't get me started on empanadas!

.... and what about "tortillas"? For cubans, a tortilla is an egg omelette, not the delicious flour and corn tortillas from mexico. That was a shock to me.

Yeah...Our so called version of the Tamale is Better! lol....j/k. Yeah we call little pastries and stuff Pastels too. Like we have Pastel de Guayaba which is like a fluffy toasted dough square with Pasta de Guayaba inside of it. De li cious!!! Originally Posted by bedroomeyes
I'm glad those brought back good memories...I go to the colombian store all the time and get those. They are amazing! everytime I have people over for stuff..I usually get some.....With a cup of coffee you can't beat it!
Cakes for us though...Like Birthday cakes are called Bizcochos.Dime cosas dulces para que cuando te las tengas que tragar, no te sepan tan amargas!!! -
Not a fan of Tortillas....Maybe i'm not having the right ones. A Honduran family that I know made me some with cheese one day. I ate it to be respectful...but wasn't exactly delightful....But hey i'm willing to try it again! Originally Posted by damarys
Hmm that's interesting...in PR an Omelet, I believe we call it a Rebortillo. Which is usually eggs with different condiments like Ham, Cheese, Salt, Pepper or Peppers scrambled into an omelet.Dime cosas dulces para que cuando te las tengas que tragar, no te sepan tan amargas!!! -
what is a zandugueara? or sandungueara?
idk how to spell it -
Sandunguer(-a/-o) is someone who dances or succumbs to Sandunga which is reggaeton. Nothing really special to the name...just used to define a person who who goes to the club all the time to "perriar" which is basically dance Reggaeton. Originally Posted by walking_on_air10

idk if it was a type-o, but it's spelled perrear (don't mean to sound like a culero, just thought i'd let you know ja) Originally Posted by bebestylee

not a type o...it's more of a preference if anything...it's like Reggaeton....Reggeton....Regueton....all depends on how you want to spell it! I spelled it the way puerto ricans say it....makes it easier for the listener who is trying to learn. People like us who know spanish and know that the letters belong there that we are supposed to pronounce...then we spell it correctly. ya digg? Originally Posted by dmoney101

i hate when it's spelled regueton, it doesn't even look like spanish jaja. i don't really say anything about spelling in spanish since i usually type how i talk (no s, r turns to l, etc) Originally Posted by bebestylee

Where did you hear sa wita? I haven't heard that in my life. Maybe the spelling? -
Se agüita (we mexicans say it) means "to become sad or upset"... estar agüitado= to be sad/depressed.
