Welcome.

You are reading the second chapter about the differences that exist in the Spanish of the Latin American countries.

We already talked about sandals, flip flops, flip flops or quotes;

We also established differences between T-shirt, T-shirt, T-shirt and solera.

Now we want to talk about food, and one that could also cause some controversy, but that we all enjoy: pyre corn.

Well, popcorn.

Okay: cotufa ...

pop corn

It is understood, no?

Anyway, we love it, whatever it's called.

✔️ We want to know: what do they call the snack that appears in the image in your country?
