Hablemos de comida / Let's talk about food

Question

Pertenezco a un grupo de amigos a los que le gusta cocinar. Nos reunimos una vez al mes y cada quien lleva un plato para compartir. El anfitrión o la anfitriona cocina en frente de todos y nos enseña a preparar la receta. El mes pasado me tocó a mi: Preparé una deliciosa lasagna. ¿Cuál es tu plato favorito? Comparte con el grupo. Será divertido y nos permitirá practicar nuestro español.

I belong to a group of friends who love to cook. We meet once a month and everyone brings a dish to share (sort of like a potluck dinner). The host cooks a dish in front of the group and teaches us the recipe. Last month, it was my turn to host. I prepared a delicious lasagna. What is your favorite dish? Share it with us. It will be fun and help us learn more Spanish."

Answer 1

Jambalaya is one of my favorites.

Jambalaya es una de mis favoritas.

Jambalaya is one of the most celebrated foods here in Louisiana. The spicy concoction makes an appearance at virtually every festival in South Louisiana—especially the Jambalaya Festival in Gonzales, west of New Orleans, which calls itself the Jambalaya Capital of the World. Even though I believe it originated in Spain.

Jambalaya es uno de los alimentos más famosos aquí en Luisiana. La mezcla picante hace acto de presencia en prácticamente todos los festivales en el sur de Louisiana, en especial el Festival de Jambalaya en Gonzales, al oeste de Nueva Orleans, que se autodenomina la Capital Jambalaya del Mundo. A pesar de que creen que se originó en España.

Answer 5

Mi plato favorito son bolas de masa hermida con el repollo y la carne ahumada. ( Incidentalmente, tengo mucha hambre )

My favourite food are dumplings with boiled cabagge and smoked meat. This is czech food and it is lovely, but I dont have a picture.

can i ask you? Why did you choose this ? CADA QUIEN. Does it mean everyone? I thought only cada can be enough?

Hi Portobella -- I would say "repollo hervido" y carne ahumada. Your choice is making me hungry too. - francobollo, Mar 27, 2012

Cada quien means "each person". Cada by itself only means each. I hope this helps. - francobollo, Mar 27, 2012

It surely helped...actually all these small things from chatting remain in my head, thanks - portobella, Mar 27, 2012
