The other day we bought what we thought were salty snack biscuits, from the snacky biscuit section in Lidl. They are called Linguas de gato.
We were disappointed to find that they weren't salty snacky at all, but they are sweet, and not really to our liking.
And then we realised that "gato" means "cat"! So, we thought we had bought cat biscuits.
Twig, the resident mouser, wasn't tempted when we put one near her as she rested from a tough day doing nothing.
I looked in the dictionary and "Linguas" means tongue. They are sort of shaped like small cat's tongues, and must be a popular Portugese snack.
Anyway, none the wiser, we will make a cheesecake tomorrow and use these strange sweet biscuits for the base.
I just googled Linguas de gato and found this blog:
