SEIS leches jeremy, SEIS? that’s insane

platypus_plumba,

I feel I don’t want to know the origin of at least 1 of those leches.

yetAnotherUser,

I wonder how confused people who don’t know Spanish are.

NinjaFox,

Very, I am very confused but will just nod and laugh politely so I don’t look stupid

HUMAN_TRASH,

“6 milks? In this economy?” I’ve never had tres Leche, but it’s like a dessert, so I think the joke is pretty clear from there. (From a white guy that only knows a little spanish)

Nelots,

Ah. I guess I technically knew all the words here but I’ve never actually seen seis spelled out before (or at least not since I was like 5) and couldn’t figure out what it was. I never learned economia, but that one wasn’t exactly hard to figure out.

Cataphract,

It’s an awesome milk (leche) inspired cake. I’ve had the 3 milk (tres leche) cake and it’s amazing (the wetter the better!). Gonna have to look into what 6 milk products they’re using for this though. It’s a sweet and juicy dessert where I’ve had it and doesn’t disappoint.

discostjohn,

Juicy

Cataphract,

Yeah I couldn’t think of a better word lol. I should’ve prefaced it by saying the one from the pic above looks dry as hell. I like to see that sweetened milk slightly settling out of it when you cut a piece from it. Though it’s probably delicious in it’s own right, I just don’t know where those 6 milks are disappearing to if it’s even drier.

discostjohn,

“Moist” is probably the word you were circling around. I love tres leches, especially when a little cream spills out when you cut it. There’s a threshold where it gets too wet and too rich, but it’s pretty high on the moisture scale.

The cake in the picture looks drier than a snake’s butthole though, so I’m not sure what’s going on with that.

MimicJar,

As a white guy I learned this from music,

Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis.

Chloepoke,

You are a pretty fly white guy though…no doubt…

idiomaddict,

Uno, dos, tres, catorce

My Spanish is close to non-existent but I’m feeling pretty proud because I totally got all of this.

mrpalmer16,

In case you are here for the actual recipe: cooking.nytimes.com/…/1020805-seis-leches-cake

cavemeat,

Dang this look bangin

frickineh,

That’s too many leches. The leche to cake ratio would be all wrong. I could maybe be convinced to do tres y medio, cuatro leches at the most, but no more.

Man tres leches cake is already kinda crazy with 3 types of milk. Are the other 3 added with this six milk cake actual milks or, like, almond milk? 🤔

FakeGreekGirl,

It adds dulce de leche and two types of coconut milk. So a little of both.

I need to try this recipe. I love tres leches cake, I love dulce de leche, and I love coconut milk, so it sounds like the perfect marriage.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

Ok hell yeah; dulce de leches is awesome. Though, I thought it was already in tres leches cake. Isn’t it regular milk, condensed milk and dulce de leches? I’ve never actually made it (and only have had it twice), so maybe I’m just confusing it with something else.

FakeGreekGirl,

Tres leches is whole milk, condensed milk, and evaporated milk. Dulce de leche isn’t standard for it. But I’m sure it makes a great addition.

criticon,

This recipe uses heavy cream instead of whole milk (I think, I was trying to read behind the “please log in” pop up)

FakeGreekGirl,

The heavy cream is just for the whipped cream topping. It still uses whole milk for the soak.

FakeGreekGirl,

But they were all of them deceived, por un otra leche was made.

Canadian_Cabinet,

Not to be pedantic, but your sentence makes no sense (obviously you’re not trying to lol) By a another milk was made

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

My Spanish isn’t the best, but I’m pretty sure that translates to “for another milk was made,” which perfectly fits with the LOTR quote they’re referencing.

FakeGreekGirl,

That’s what I’m going for, but my Spanish kinda stinks (despite three years of high school Spanish, lol)

Canadian_Cabinet,

Yeah but for does not translate into por in this context. The only word that works here is pero. There is no literal word for for (as in but) in Spanish and the closest approximation is pero. Source: I am Spanish

Viking_Hippie,

The only word that works here is pero

Careful with that r button though, as perro would be a downright silly word to use in this context.

AnActOfCreation,

In the English quote, doesn’t “for” really mean “because”, not “but”?

FakeGreekGirl,

Thanks for the tip. I’ll keep that in mind when I make that joke again (and I’m sure I will).

TheCoolerMia,
@TheCoolerMia@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

You can translate “for” in that sentence to “pues”

Also remove the “un” because else you’re saying “an another milk” or if you want to leave it for extra funny points make it “una” because “leche” is femenine

jopepa,

A Greek and Canadian disagreeing on Spanish makes me feel like my mono and thee quarters linguistic ass needs to try harder.

Canadian_Cabinet,

Not Canadian, contrary to my username. I’m actually Spanish, so I imagine that I’m the one who would be correct considering it’s my native language

jopepa,

Am I supposed to believe you’re not furniture either? Nice try you shifty stack of maple drawers.

Edit: ¿“Por” no es “for” en ingles?

¿Para qué no les dijiste cómo?

flicker,

“Shifty stack of maple drawers” is this best thing I’ve read all week. Thank you for that.

jopepa,

You’re welcome thanks yourself

Canadian_Cabinet,

Por does mean for, but only in specific contexts. Here’s a list. It also can mean by, through, because of, and to, to name a few.

jopepa,

Isn’t it strange how languages have tons of homonyms we hardly notice while having synonyms for almost anything else? Thanks for sharing I’ll check that out.
