what does "El roscon de reyes" mean

Question

is a spanish word

Answer 1

And somewhere inside the pastry is a little replica of one of "los reyes" and the lucky person that gets it can make a wish, of course if he/she breaks a tooth on it or swallows it, they wouldn't be so lucky and would probably wish that they hadn't found it.

Answer 2

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Roscón de Reyes = ring-shaped pastry eaten on 6th January.

I bet you could find more info on Google if you wanted it.

Answer 3

Here you have a previous thread where this has been answered.

Answer 4

Hmmm...interesting that "rosca" has the same meaning (ring shaped pastry), only it is a feminine noun. The "on" augmentative ought therefore be "ona", resulting in "La roscona de reyes". But the dictionary says "Roscón de reyes" is masculine.
