Plancha
This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for June 9, 2008
plancha -feminine noun (la), iron. Look up plancha in the dictionary No pude salir a cenar anoche porque la plancha no prendía y toda mi ropa estaba arrugada. I couldn't go out to eat last night because the iron wouldn't turn on and all my clothes were wrinkled.

For anyone who doesn't know, planchando oreja or planchando la oreja means sleeping (or laying down).
Also a large grill can be referred to as a plancha. ¿Qué son gambas?

Quote:
(The majority of us here in the U.S. use shrimp as both singular and plural in formation.) Prawns son langostinos por estas partes. |

Then maybe scampi is the right word for gambas...

Scampi is a shrimp dish, where the shrimp is usually fried in butter (or olive oil) and garlic.
Here's a picture. Scampi can also be made with chicken, so scampi is just the preparation name. Last edited by Rusty; June 09, 2008 at 10:32 AM. |
