'At' the weekend, surely, amiga ? - annierats, Oct 20, 2012

I think I always say on or in the weekend. I don't think I ever say 'at' the weekend although perhaps it's grmatically correct? - katydew, Oct 20, 2012

It's "at the weekend" in England and "on the weekend" in the U.S.A. - --Mariana--, Oct 21, 2012

Regional differences that sound sweet to our ears. - katydew, Oct 25, 2012

Grito en voz alta al perro.

I shout loudly at the dog.

Hola amiga! That was my thought exactly for G. I do it but it is not so relaxing :-) - 0095ca4c, Oct 20, 2012

Jejejeje. and perhaps belly dancing? - rac1, Oct 20, 2012

Relaxing for you, not so much for the dog. ;o) - katydew, Oct 20, 2012

What is, the bellydancing?? - 0095ca4c, Oct 20, 2012

You know, belly dancing, like Shakira. - rac1, Oct 20, 2012

Hola rac! Yes, I thought katy was answering you jaja but I think she was referring to annie's post about shouting. - 0095ca4c, Oct 20, 2012

Hahahaha, this is too funny! - rac1, Oct 20, 2012

Gritar implica que es en voz alta, Annie. Le grito al perro would suffice. - francobollo, Oct 21, 2012

Answer 15

F

freír... pescados, hushpuppies or pollo

fry...fish, hushpuppies or chicken

Hushpuppies are shoes, but hushpuppies, according to Wikipedia...

A hushpuppy (or cornbread ball) is a savory, starch-based food made from cornmeal batter that is deep fried or baked in small ball or sphere shapes, or occasionally oblong shapes. Hushpuppies are frequently served as a side dish, usually at fish restaurants.

They are considered a staple in the cuisine of the South (as in the War Between the States) in the U.S.A. The picture is a hushpuppie. I don't think there is a name for it in Spanish, but it might be a distant relative to a croquet. They are extremely good if very fresh.

P.S. I don't really cook them, or even fish that often, but I thought it might be a fun, new word for some.

Hushopuppie are shoes here! Or do you eat them, aren't they tough? - annierats, Oct 20, 2012

Typo: hushpuppies. - annierats, Oct 20, 2012

They are quite good, especially with jalapenos..yum! - rac1, Oct 20, 2012

I love them, those fried delicacies... should be served with fried catfish and green tomato relish. - katydew, Oct 20, 2012

Freír pescados .... peces are in the water. Pescados are once you fish them out of the water. - francobollo, Oct 21, 2012

Annie , same here we wear our Hushpuppies , not eat them . But they do look good . - ray76, Oct 21, 2012

Thanks for reminding me of that Franco! Spanish seems to have two words for every English one. - JoyceM, Oct 21, 2012
