No cake for nasty boys
It took a long time to deliberate and decide if I should post those photos here or not, they are somewhat worse than porn: more addictive, instantly triggering a body reaction (mouth watering, hunger), politically incorrect for diabetics and just cruel for those trying to preserve their body shape. But in the end I decided I am a nasty boy and went ahead, sugar coated in a cultural game idea.
When uploading the photos to the gallery I realised I don't know the English name for any of those cakes and I think it would be an interesting experiment to learn their name in English and any other languages, I believe some of them are quite straightforward and available in a lot of countries.
At this point I should acknowledge that I know the Romanian name only for some of them (savarină, amandină, mascotă, ecler) and that the majority of those names seems to have French origins.

PS: I hope I have not ruined the day for that many of you with those photos... Or being nasty I am happy about that?

Ecler = éclair obviously. :-) I think savarină = savarin and amandină = amandine, not sure though. And mascotă doesn't seem to be of French origin, unless it comes from mascotte (mascot), but AFAIK that's not a cake.
ReplyDeleteYes, the French names are obvious, I was curious about English names... and "mascotă" *is* the romanian term Romanian for "mascotte" but is also a cake made form chocolate cream and chocolate icing, all chocolate, very tasty.
