What you talkin bout Willis? Pass them flapjacks!

Question

If one package of flour tortillas says 'caseras' & another one says 'riquisimas', what does that mean about the tortillas?

You need to specify country here, toritlla Mejicana and tortila española are rather different things. - annierats, Oct 4, 2014

Answer 1

Riquísimo/a is the superlative of rico/a. Which means rich, but is used for food to mean delicious.

riquísimo

scrumptious (food)

Casero/a generally means of the home (as an adjective)

casera

homemade

I wonder if there is any requirement in truth in labelling that something labelled homemade has to actually be made in someone's home.

Are you kidding. Here in Baja, "Comida Casera" is used by every small restuarant there is. - gringojrf, Oct 4, 2014

In the US they way Home-Style cooking. - gringojrf, Oct 4, 2014

In Spain it means made on the premises. - annierats, Oct 4, 2014

I pictured him in a grocery store trying to pick between all the packages of tortillas that we have nowadays at least where I live. - bosquederoble, Oct 4, 2014

Answer 2

Flapjacks are oat biscuits, delicious, but nothing whatever to do with pancakes!

In the Us flapjacks and pancakes are used interchangeably. Here in Mexico we call them hotcakes. - gringojrf, Oct 4, 2014

Answer 3

In talking about tortillas let's not forget Tortillas hecha a mano. Handmade, Vs. machine made. They are usually a little thicker and, to my taste, always better.

Also there is precocida. You would think this means pre-cooked, or ready to eat. In fact it means raw in the form of a tortilla that you cook at home. These are the best of all as they are only heated once, immediately when you are ready to eat them. Yummmm.

Tortillas are horrible omelettes made with potatoes in Spain, very heavy... - annierats, Oct 4, 2014

So I should say Mexican tortillas. - gringojrf, Oct 4, 2014
