I am trying to translate a recipe from Spanish. Three times it mentions "2 cucharadas" and I cannot tell from the recipe whether that means teaspoons or tablespoons.

I saw a food recipe in the Far East that asked for 2 "Cucharadas", then I realised it was a typing error. They fry them there and they are delicious.

I've heard that they have a lot of protien. I'm less sure about the "delicious". - samdie, Nov 1, 2009

Cucharadas means spoonfuls, so in your case it would be '2 spoonfuls'. As to teaspoons or tablespoons I don't know.

Cucharadita= teaspoonfuls. - Seb79, Nov 1, 2009
Isn't the plural of teaspoonful - teaspoonsful, or is that being pedantic? - 00515f39, Nov 1, 2009
