Not to be pedantic, but your sentence makes no sense (obviously you’re not trying to lol) By a another milk was made

My Spanish isn’t the best, but I’m pretty sure that translates to “for another milk was made,” which perfectly fits with the LOTR quote they’re referencing.
- Canadian_Cabinet ( @Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca ) 24•8 months ago
Yeah but for does not translate into por in this context. The only word that works here is pero. There is no literal word for for (as in but) in Spanish and the closest approximation is pero. Source: I am Spanish

Thanks for the tip. I’ll keep that in mind when I make that joke again (and I’m sure I will).

You can translate “for” in that sentence to “pues”
Also remove the “un” because else you’re saying “an another milk” or if you want to leave it for extra funny points make it “una” because “leche” is femenine

In the English quote, doesn’t “for” really mean “because”, not “but”?

That’s what I’m going for, but my Spanish kinda stinks (despite three years of high school Spanish, lol)

Man tres leches cake is already kinda crazy with 3 types of milk. Are the other 3 added with this six milk cake actual milks or, like, almond milk? 🤔
- FakeGreekGirl ( @FakeGreekGirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English22•8 months ago
It adds dulce de leche and two types of coconut milk. So a little of both.
I need to try this recipe. I love tres leches cake, I love dulce de leche, and I love coconut milk, so it sounds like the perfect marriage.
- 🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 ℹ️ ( @Kolanaki@yiffit.net ) English3•8 months ago
Ok hell yeah; dulce de leches is awesome. Though, I thought it was already in tres leches cake. Isn’t it regular milk, condensed milk and dulce de leches? I’ve never actually made it (and only have had it twice), so maybe I’m just confusing it with something else.
- FakeGreekGirl ( @FakeGreekGirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English6•8 months ago
Tres leches is whole milk, condensed milk, and evaporated milk. Dulce de leche isn’t standard for it. But I’m sure it makes a great addition.

This recipe uses heavy cream instead of whole milk (I think, I was trying to read behind the “please log in” pop up)
- FakeGreekGirl ( @FakeGreekGirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English2•8 months ago
The heavy cream is just for the whipped cream topping. It still uses whole milk for the soak.

It’s an awesome milk (leche) inspired cake. I’ve had the 3 milk (tres leche) cake and it’s amazing (the wetter the better!). Gonna have to look into what 6 milk products they’re using for this though. It’s a sweet and juicy dessert where I’ve had it and doesn’t disappoint.
- discostjohn ( @discostjohn@programming.dev ) 3•8 months ago
Juicy
- Cataphract ( @Cataphract@lemmy.ml ) 4•8 months ago
Yeah I couldn’t think of a better word lol. I should’ve prefaced it by saying the one from the pic above looks dry as hell. I like to see that sweetened milk slightly settling out of it when you cut a piece from it. Though it’s probably delicious in it’s own right, I just don’t know where those 6 milks are disappearing to if it’s even drier.
- discostjohn ( @discostjohn@programming.dev ) 2•8 months ago
“Moist” is probably the word you were circling around. I love tres leches, especially when a little cream spills out when you cut it. There’s a threshold where it gets too wet and too rich, but it’s pretty high on the moisture scale.
The cake in the picture looks drier than a snake’s butthole though, so I’m not sure what’s going on with that.
