Hopefully you enjoyed reading them!<br /><br />Yup, I think you must have seen a lot of Italian and French terms when you prepare your recipe!安格魯https://www.blogger.com/profile/09568556531112055546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563274688172287722.post-86423642720645042292014-06-24T00:39:59.875+08:002014-06-24T00:39:59.875+08:00Yes, guessing the origin isn't easy.

I love your "十大" series! <br /><br />Heehee... Yes, most pasta terms are Italian and most cooking terms are French.

So 'casino' with an 'o' sound at the end is not that surprising when taking the above feature into account. 'balcony' is spelled as 'balcone' in Italian and I agree that its origin is hard to guess.<br /><br />I know you must be very familiar with cuisine terms. They are usually either from French or Italian, representing the two European countries which are most famous for food and cooking. When you come across a new kind of pasta with an unusual name, you may suppose it's very likely from Italian.安格魯https://www.blogger.com/profile/09568556531112055546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563274688172287722.post-76795038007506531202014-06-20T23:04:40.742+08:002014-06-20T23:04:40.742+08:00"Casino" & "balcony" are t..."Casino" & "balcony" are the surprising ones! They just don't sound like Italian. For any food related words, I probably know pretty well after watching many Italian cooking shows or reading Italian menus. :D Lokness @ The Missing Loknesshttp://themissinglokness.com/noreply@blogger.com
