Talk:amareta

RFV discussion: January–March 2019
Spanish for macaroon. Googling "receta amaretas" turns up nothing in Spanish. Ultimateria (talk) 17:34, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * The Spanish Wikipedia leaves the English term untranslated, although offering the Spanish transliteration macarun (which I do not find used), and remarks that the first macaroons were similar to the current (Italian) . In general, absence of evidence does not imply evidence of absence, but the lack of any mention of the word amareta here is a strong case against its existence as a Spanish word. --Lambiam 21:09, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Never heard of "amareta" in Spanish. It sounds like amaretto. I have always called macaroons almendrados, but that might technically be slightly different, marzipan. There is also the macarrón cookies, which are French macarons, and which are again similar but different. —Stephen (Talk) 07:09, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Never heard either, but dunno so much about that kind of desserts. Sobreira ►〓 (parlez) 14:06, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
