Talk:Gordita

Meaning

Gordita just means "little fat (something)", and it refers to a fat tortilla, not a fat woman. I mean, that's just crazy.

I ended up making this correction without even noticing your comment here. You're right. I mean, obviously no one would claim that enchilada meant "woman stuffed with hot peppers" so why make such an assumpion about gordita? ;) --Iustinus 17:02, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Umm... OOOOK, user:198.97.78.136 just added THREE WHOLE PARAGRAPHS about how gordita can also mean "plump girl." Um... other wikipedians: what do you think of this? Seems unneccessary to me. Worth a couple sentences at most. --Iustinus 18:46, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

I've heard the word used in this way, so it's not just an assumption. But 3 paragraphs which all said the same thing did seem a bit much, so I've condensed it to one. Wwagner 19:12, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

That seems much more reasonable. I don't doubt that gordita is used that way, as it does mean "little zaftig one" and is feminine, I would only question whether this usage came from the food, as it seems likely to be an independant usage of the same word (just as one might describe a small donkey as a burrito). But it seems fair enough to mention it here in any case, so long as it's done unobtrusively. --Iustinus 08:44, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Ingredients

Does the tortilla used in gorditas contain shortening/oil/fat, salt, wheat flour, and baking powder in addition to the masa harina? Badagnani 03:01, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

picture

Needs picture the pictures shown are a taco and a tlacoyo, that's not a gordita —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.141.56.210 (talk) 07:11, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

I agree, neither of the pictures depict a proper gordita. 132.254.89.10 (talk) 17:19, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Are you both referring to this type of gordita (see image)? That's what I was expecting to read/see when I came to this article. Is it not called a gordita. Should I add this to the article as another type of gordita in Mexican cuisine? Mahanga^Talk 02:33, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

A gordita?

Hope you don't mind, but I've take the picture from wikipedia spanish to subtitute the wrong ones on this article. The one from spanish wiki is a REAL mexican gordita, so I've assume everybody should agree it's ok. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lobbot (talk • contribs) 15:40, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Finding Gorditas

I agree with what has been stated about the elusive Gordita. In PA, the Northeastern region, anyway, and probably in other places, you will have a difficult time finding a Gordita. I lived near San Antonio for several years. Go there and see how the great Mexican American ladies make their Gordita. It is a stuffed masa bun that is fried, split open on top and stuffed with pico di gallo a sort of Salsa but with no juice, and perhaps sour cream, guacamole, and chicken or beef or maybe pork. That, and a cold beer on a hot San Antonio day...amazing...Sort of Elusive though and it may go by other names, as a Hoagie is a grinder, sub, Et Cetera.Thelionshares (talk) 08:13, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Why "Salsa"?

Salsa literally means sauce. Like, there is no difference, why use salsa? I am from Mexico, and I saw this in the pupusa page too... just why? I don't get it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.253.54.241 (talk • contribs)

I've changed the name in the only case where it doesn't refer to Salsa (sauce), as a particular type of sauce is called in English-speaking countries. --Jotamar (talk) 14:27, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
