A to Z El Paletero
A to Z El Paletero
Cardiff's question about words we have pinched from Spanish got me thinking. Where I live everbody knows El Paletero.
-El Paletero pushes a small cart selling paletas. Paletas are the most delicious popsicles in the whole wide world. They come in more than a hundred flavors, even including watermelon chile.
-When the jingling of el paletero is heard coming down the street, all the children, latinos, morenos, güeros, chinos, todos, they all rush to finish their chores, beg for a dollar and run to the street before he disappears. El paletero always flirts with the ladies.
-Be sure to listen to this music video Paletero Man by Chingo Bling. You will hear lots of slang, plays on words, Spanglish and chicano humor.
So the challenge is to think of as many paleta flavors as we can, or things related to paletas, like summer, sticky, etc.
For those who've never played this game before, it's pretty straight-forward - there are just the following rules:
-Your word must follow the alphabetical order
-Always click newest before posting to see the last letter posted.
-Make sure you put the English translation of your word.
-Make your posts as colourful and interesting as you can.
The most important rule Have fun!!! :-D
Also please be sure to tell us your favorite flavor and the most exotic flavor you have ever tried. Those do not have to be in order.
I'll start with the letter A
A ~ la Avenida ~ Avenue
El Paletero empuja su carrito por la avenida, tintineando sus cascabeles y gritando "¡Paleta! ¡Paleta!"
He probado muchos sabores exóticos, entre ellos sandía con chile, pero mi paleta favorita es la de mango. ¡Tan saborosa!
¿Y cuál es tu sabor favorito? ¿Has probado una paleta rara?
*The paleta man pushes his cart down the avenue, jingling his bells and shouting "Paleta! Paleta!"
I have tried many exotic flavors, including watermelon chile, but my favorite is mango. So delicious!
What's your favorite flavor? Have you tried an unusual one?*
