Pop-Tarts is the French term for the English phrase pop tart.
The term refers to the brand of toaster pastries characterized by a filling and a frosting.
Did you know?
- While 'Pop-Tarts' are eaten cold or toasted in English, a French person describing a similar homemade treat might use the word chausson, which literally means 'slipper' to describe the shape of the pastry.
- French speakers use the word glaçage for the sweet topping on a Pop-Tart, a term usually reserved for professional cakes rather than quick breakfast foods.
- In France, the word tarte refers almost exclusively to open-faced pastries, which makes the closed shape of a Pop-Tart feel contradictory to the name.
Examples in context
- Est-ce qu'il reste des Pop-Tarts dans le placard ?Are there any Pop-Tarts left in the cupboard?
