Italian Phrase: Chiambella
What it means in English:
1. Doughnut
2. "Love-Handle" or "Spare-Tire"
Story Behind It:
At one of my meetings with Erin, one of our instructors, we started to talk about how our eating habits have changed now that we are in Italy. She mentioned that she enjoys having a chiambella every morning. I did not know that word and when I asked her what it meant she said doughnut. It also translates as "love-handles" or the extra belly fat around someone's waist.
I thought the word is much cuter than "spare-tire" and hopefully one day the rest of the world will switch over and use it to.
