Rachelhazideas@lemmy.world 3 days agoAsking what the Spanish word for tortilla is a valid question.
If you ordered a ‘tortilla’ in Spain, you would get an omelette, not a flatbread.

Tortilla is tortilla in Spanish. Only in Spain, were just a fraction of Spanish speakers live, tortilla is a potato dish.

Potatoes, omelettes, and flatbread? Eh, it’s still food.
