Chipitas

Spanish to English Marketing Food & Drink menu, event, services
Translating a menu within an event Budget

Chipitas is the diminutive (in plural) of Chipa (paraguayan dish, yuca or cassava starch and cheese bread). Chipitas are usually eaten as a snack, as this mini version of chipas is usually crunchy.

Should I go for the exoticism and leave the tearm as 'chipita'?

Snack size chipa?

Mini chipa?

Leave it in Spanish

And put a brief explanation underneath. "Snack-sized chipas" won't work, because people won't know what chips are.

Chipas, sorry.

agree Carol Gullidge : Definitely! With brief explanation if space allows, but in my experience , waiters and maitre d’s love to be consulted about exotic-sounding dishes on the menu.

True!
agree Andrew Bramhall : Yes Phil,everyone will know what chips are, but chipas is a different kettle of fish altogether, in a manner of speaking!

agree abe(L)solano : It's kind of a minibread. "Bolitas de queso y yuca/Yucca and cheese balls" may go between brackets, after "Chipitas" https://comidasparaguayas.com/receta-chipa-almidon/

yucca chips

Yucca Chips (or Cassava Chips) are similar to potato chips and are made with 3 ingredients - yuca (cassava root), neutral oil, and salt.

Peer comment(s):
neutral abe(L)solano : I have searched, chipitas are made with Yucca starch, not yucca chips (your link is a Cuban recipe, not PY). https://cookpad.com/es/recetas/16750033-chipa-piru-chipitas-...
