	Nice game! Haven't seen these words in a while...really brings you back!

	Always good to have a spanish quiz on here. But I though "cerdo" literally meant pig in spanish? The animal word is different than the food word, i think. Anyway, it's a great way to review for final exams, which start soon!

	"Cambur" should also be accepted for banana. Also, agreed with smreidy - I rarely hear "cerdo" used for pork. It's usually "puerco" or "cochino"

	banana should also be acceptable. Ive been taught in the past by teachers who are natives of the DR that un platano is more so a plantain than a banana.

I always think sausage is chorizo. I blame the sausage race at Miller Park.

	@TheDestroyer+Swings: Chorizo is mainly used in Mexico, while salchicha is the form used in Spain.

	I think I did pretty well, considering I haven't taken spanish in a while!

	I agree. "Chorizo" should be good for sausage and "banana" for banana. Especially on the Caribbean coast, there is a difference between bananas and plantains.

	Chorizo is a type of sausage. It would be like saying that bratwurst is German for sausage.

	Chorizo is actually used mainly in Spain and Portugal Daser.

	4 years of cooking with a bunch of El Salvadorans in an Outback Steakhouse kitchen = 8/20.

	Where is "Little Donkey?"

	kaiohshin:	Jun 1st, 2009 at 20:10 GMT	2 points
	@brian: right. 'wurst' is German for sausage, so 'bratwurst' specifies the type of sausage.

	after this quiz, i am hungry! i mean...tengo hambre!

	In my experience (Argentina), a "salchicha" means a hotdog.

	the fact that I haven't taken spanish in three years is really starting to show. only got 11 and missed some of the ones that I used to have absolutely memorized like apple, fish and lettuce.

	jmarshallg:	Jun 1st, 2009 at 21:49 GMT	3 points
	Yeah, if Cerdo is pork then Pez should would for fish.

	expat:	Jun 1st, 2009 at 21:52 GMT	0 points
	Here in Argentina Strawberry is Frutilla, pork is cerdo and sausage is chorizo. jworkin is right salchica is a hotdog, and a tasteless thing at that. Give me a choripan any day.

	Pretty sad that I remember more Spanish from Bumblebee Man on the Simpsons than three years of high school Spanish classes.

	Juampi:	Jun 1st, 2009 at 22:43 GMT	2 points
	Like Mark said, here in Argentina "strawberry" is "frutilla", and "sausage" is "chorizo", though it could be "salchicha" as well...

	1/20...I'm Canadian so I tried all of their french names. Didn't work. Typed in "banana" for banana though!

	onetheta:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 06:46 GMT	1 point
	@joeyv: Great insult! "You Sir are more of a plantain than a banana" It would have to be chorizos at dawn after that.

	@jbear31: Took Spanish for 5 years but haven't taken any classes for the past 5 years... 5/20 :(

	Carina:	Jun 4th, 2009 at 20:14 GMT	1 point
	caldo would be considered the broth but whatever i'm hispanic but some of those took me a while to think of especially pork!
