[DailyWord]

This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word (http://daily.tomisimo.org/) for February 4, 2009

crema de cacahuate - feminine noun (la) - peanut butter. Look up crema de cacahuate in the dictionary (http://www.tomisimo.org/dictionary/spanish_english/crema de cacahuate)

Me gusta comer sándwiches de crema de cacahuate con un vaso de leche fría.
I like eating peanut butter sandwiches with a glass of cold milk.

Then (peanut butter) is translate as Crema de cacahuate, for example I eaten yesterday my peanut butter with my brother, and I barely finish of eating him today.

Luis - the last part of your sentence doesn't make sense: "...and I barely finish of eating him today."

Why don't you say what you were trying to say in Spanish and someone (probably not me - my Spanish certainly isn't good enough) could help re-word it..... :)

[Rusty]

Mexico:
Crema de cacahuate

Spain:
Mantequilla de cacahuete

Puerto Rico, Central and South America:
Mantequilla de maní

So, Rusty - does that mean that the word for "peanut" are those three words in those different places?

[Rusty]

Yep.

[CrOtALiTo]

I would eat peanut butter today in my breakfast, but to Luis Angel does not like the peanut butter in his sandwich, then I believe, I will invite to eat other kind of food for the breakfast.

[Jessica]

what would jelly be?

peanut butter & jelly sandwich (P&J sandwich) - sándwiches de crema de cacahuate y ______

[laepelba]

(I like how Jessica thinks.........) :D

[Rusty]

jelly = jalea

[CrOtALiTo]

Jelly- jalea. Then the word jelly mean Jalea, but jelly is any jalea, I mean is any kind of jelly, I hope you catch my idea.

[Tomisimo]

In Mexican usage, mermelada is the most common way to say jelly/jam.

sandwich de crema de cacahuate con mermelada = peanut butter and jelly sandwich

[Jessica]

thanks, guys! :)
