hueso - masculine noun (el) - bone. Look up hueso in the dictionary (http://www.tomisimo.org/dictionary/spanish_english/hueso)

Cuando comas pescado, ten cuidado de no comer los huesos.
When you eat fish, be careful not to eat the bones.

[sosia]

for fish bones, I use "espinas"
"Hueso" it's for animal's bones "hueso de cordero", "huesitos de rana", etc

Me too. Pero lo de huesitos de rana me ha llegado al alma... Do you often eat frog legs?...:yuck:

[CrOtALiTo]

I don't eat fish, so I can't have bones in my food. ijjijiji

[sosia]

Do you often eat frog legs?...
I do not eat them, but it was common in my family. Same with snails.
Now is forbidden (frogs, not snails), due to animal protection.
greetings :D

Las ancas de rana se comen los franceses y vietnamitas. Lo comí una vez
nada más con poco deseo de repetir. En la otra mano los caracoles son sabrosos por lo menos los que he probado: sgungilli o escargot. Tampoco lo como muy poco porque no sé prepararlos y estoy tratando de limitar mi consumo de las proteinas animales.

Las ancas de rana se comen a los franceses y vietnamitas. :eek:
Los franceses y los vietnamitas comen ancas de rana. ;)

Nunca he tenido oportunidad de comer ni ancas de rana ni caracoles, pero algún día los probaré, aunque sea sólo una vez. :)

Thanks Sosia, You're right. It's more common to say espinas or esqueleto, although I'm sure I've heard people say huesos in Mexico at least.

[CrOtALiTo]

Yeah, In Mexico is common to say bones to the fish bones, at least, such I meet that word used in my contry.

[María José]

Sosia,
I have never tried the frog thingies, but I remember I used to love snails when I was little: both cooked and alive, in fact. I once had a pet snail for a day and felt devastated when it died at night:sad:... probably because I tenderly kept him in a closed matchbox ( a big one, though).:banghead:
I think I've 'outgrown' them now.:hmm:I find them kind of yukky....:crazy: probably because my kids hate them.

[Elaina]

UGH!!!

To frog thingies........and Snails "dead or alive"!

:D

[María José]

What would you say to little fried birds, then?:sad:
When I was little they were served as tapas in bars :eek:,but fortunately this practice was forbidden... I don't remember what kind of bird it was, but at that tender age I used to associate them in my mind to the little sparrows I saw around the neighbourhood. Thank God my parents never ate them...at least not in front of me.

[Elaina]

OMG!

Are you serious? Little birds? Fried? Oh, we can be such savages!

:sad::sad:

[María José]

:sad::sad:
Totally serious. It's just a distant memory but it still gives me goosebumps. I'd rather not think about it.
Take care.:)
