I spoke to a familiar Cuban.
I study Spanish little by little, the knowledge is not enough - we generally communicate in English.
I remember our Gallina Blanca, which in my university years in the 90s was cheered with appetite by students, and which was translated as “White Chicken.”
What about a Japanese chicken? I ask.
and pollo.
What is “Gallina”?
How do you know this word? She is surprised.
I thought it was chicken in Spanish.
- In fact you are right, "gallina" is also a chicken, but, as you can explain, it is such an old chicken that no longer carries eggs, and it is also not suitable for meat... I know that in those hungry times in Cuba some still made some soup from it.
I understand.
Everything got to its place.
