Mungnga ma fa' champulådo i atulen teok.
Don't make a mess of things, in other words!
Atule is a porridge made of ground corn, water and coconut milk.
Teok means "thick" as in a thick consistency. Coffee, blood and soup can all be teok.
Champulådo is another kind of porridge, made of rice, condensed milk, chocolate and sugar.
If you meant to make atule, and it ends up being champulådo, something went wrong.
I remember drinking atole and champurrado in Mexico, though I'm not sure the difference is the same as atule and champulådo here. Do there word share the same origin?
ReplyDeleteAtole is definitely from Nahuatl (language of the Aztecs) word atolli. Scholars are not sure where the word champurrado comes from. The -ado ending makes it Spanish but the beginning of the word may have a non-Spanish origin.
