My wife hates raisons in her tamales but I don't mind it at all.<br /><br />Picadillo in my location is cooked ground meat cooked 'scattered' to small bits (less than a pea sized) portion. Onion and small bits of potato, along with spices. Great for taco filling, (though mind the refugees with every bite). Delicious. That recipe above sounds great (I never thought of cinnamon) - thanks for offering it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-25382271826409705262017-05-22T06:41:48.703-04:002017-05-22T06:41:48.703-04:00If he'd asked for chicharrón, he could've ...If he'd asked for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicharr%C3%B3n" rel="nofollow">chicharrón</a>, he could've ended up with anything from a bag of pork rinds to pork barbecue, depending on the country he was in at the time. Words drift. <br /><br /> My high school Latin teacher, who also taught Spanish, was in Rome on vacation and after about a week, she was getting whole sentences in Italian instead of scattered words. There's enough overlap that she was filling in gaps from context *most* of the time -- but when it went wrong, it went way wrong, far enough that she was leery of speaking much.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-6280220996991783362017-05-22T00:42:42.731-04:002017-05-22T00:42:42.731-04:00Interesting.

Highly recommended.<br /><br />More than a few years ago I was taking a night class in conversational Spanish. The instructor was a Mexican national. He shared the interesting differences found in the same languages in different locals. <br />He related an incident where, while on sabatical in Spain, he had ordered breakfast and the waitress asked if he wanted a tortilla with his meal. He answered in the afirmative and she brought him a plain egg omelet instead of the flour tortilla that he expected.waepnedmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07114411043832799988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-50530139115193875272017-05-21T21:42:03.115-04:002017-05-21T21:42:03.115-04:00Wait, wait....
