Did you know?
- The word crema is thought by some linguists to be a malapropism of the French word tréma, which originally referred to a 'perforation' or 'orifice'.
- Depending on the country, galletas can refer to anything from a sweet biscuit to a salty cracker, unlike the English 'cookie' which is almost always sweet.
