español term

petisu

español al inglés Otros Cocina / Gastronomía Pastry
This is from a recipe for a pastry, which is summarized at the beginning as follows:

Finger food de lionesa o petisú de cacao con un crujiente de galleta crumble de cacao en la parte superior y relleno de crema pastelera de chocolate y ron.

I think lionesa is puff pastry, and petisu sounds a bit like patissier, but that may be a coincidence. I''ve also found this by googling, which may help:

no problem KudoZ doesn't always provide the answer!
philgoddard (asker) Dec 16, 2009:
Sorry, I searched for petisu (which is how it's spelt in my text) rather than petisú. But I'm still none the wiser as to how to translate it in my particular context. It sounds like a type of pastry rather than a finished cake like an eclair.
Carol Gullidge Dec 16, 2009:
Hi Phil: his has already cropped up on KudoZ: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/cooking.../1654...
Rosa Paredes Dec 16, 2009:
@asker That's a very good question. What I've found is that petit choux (cream puffs) is a type of sweet made with lionesa (puff pastry)

Note from asker:
Thanks for your answer, Rosa. If this is correct, the obvious question is what's the difference between petisu and lionesa?
Peer comment(s):

agree Michelle Temple : I believe petisu and lionesa are the same if you compare recipes: http://www.gallinablanca.es/receta/lionesas-rellenas-de-nata... http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/petits-choux-with-rose-c... I would use puff pastry for both.

agree Lisa McCarthy : I think 'cream puff' or 'eclair' are correct but which word you use depends on what they look like - round or oblong?

Thanks Lisa Mac: Many years ago; when I was growing up in south Florida; I used to hang out at a fancy ice-cream parlor with my girl friend; we were both eclair addicts, they were long, filled with cream and covered with chocolate... :)9

Petits Choux

Another option
I believe petisu is a Spanish spelling of the French Petits choux.

PETIT CHOU o CHOU: petisu. Pastelito de masa de buñuelos que se cuece en el horno en lugar de freírse y se rellena con crema pastelera o chantilly. Petit chou significa repollito y se suele utilizar como palabra cariñosa para dirigirse a un niño o niña. Se utiliza en pastelería por la similitud con la verdura.

neutral Lisa McCarthy : I agree with your explanation but I think we need an English translation as I don´t think the French is actually used (not in the UK anyway)

éclair

Éclairs are oblong and cream puffs are round.
The vast majority of images for "lionesa" are round and more images for "petisú" are oblong than round, so I would so with cream puffs to translate "lionesa" and éclairs for "petisú".

I do think what is being described is either of these two, not just the puff pastry. Notice your text says "RELLENO de crema", filled with, not topped or coated with rum chocolate cream - with cocoa crumb topping (or topped with cocoa crumbs).

****************

An éclair is a delicate, individual pastry made with chou paste (choux paste, pâte à choux, cream puff pastry dough). The dough is piped from a pastry bag in an oblong or log shape on baking pans, and baked until it is crisp and hollow inside. It is either filled from a hole made in one end, or split lengthwise and filled. The filling is traditionally ... Other fillings include coffee and rum flavored custard, fruit flavored fillings or chestnut purée, and the topping is usually flavored the same as the filling.

crumbs, a cake topping made of sugar, flour, butter, and spice, usually crumbled on top of the raw batter and baked with the cake.

eclair

As a pastry chef and translator, this is absolutely an eclair, and made from pate choux, or choux paste, not puff pastry. You might stretch it to a cream puff or profiterole, also made from the same dough.
