I love the regular (or classic) too, but like the occasional Pinipig encrusted ones. Smile

"It was the most efficient campaign I have seen in my 20 years in politics." -- Sam Burrell, alderman of Chicago's West Side 29th Ward, on the phenomeal Project Vote! voter drive of 1992 which was responsible for adding 150,000 black voters to the Chicago rolls. This helped Bill Clinton and Carol Mosley Braun win Illinois in the '92 elections. The project was spearheaded by an unknown 31-year-old lawyer and community organizer by the name of Barack Obama.

Polvoron is a almond cake that it is eaten in Spain during Christmas time. From what you write, it must be something completely different. I'm curious, what is it for you?

^^ Oh wow I didn't see your post Maria.

The type that Cayce, gypsysoul + I (and possibly globalguppy) are talking about is the Filipino kind. It's a kind of powdered milk candy. Pinipig is crispy rice (I think). Polvoron is eaten whenever, not just for Christmas.

I just got back from Mexico, and shock! "Polvorones" there were butter cookies. This one had an orange flavor, but I don't know if that's standard. How strange! Almond cake, huh. I have a theory that the Spanish conquistadores went giving names to stuff in different colonies that reminded them of items back home, whether or not it actually was the same thing.

That's what happens.
In the southern states of the USA they sell [dakeree] (supposed to be daiquiri). A sticky sugary drink that has nothing in common with the original from Cuba
