Bolo-rei-translating into English!
|

Hi everyone!Does someone know the translation for bolo rei(Portugal name for a traditional Christmas cake ) ?
I searched for the meaning and it said:"ring shaped cake made of eggs and dried fruit mainly eaten at Christmas".
In Spanish they call it "roscón" and in French "galette des rois".
Thanks in advance! |

Hi there,
as far as I know there ´s isn ´t "bolo rei" neither in the USA nor in the UK. So there ´s only the equivalent : Christmas pudding which is similar but not the same :) |

Hi,
Ring fruit cake aka fruitcake ring is the only one I know of.
Does it bear any similarity?

Hi dear,
as we eat it on the Twelfth Night in France we may call it ´the Twelfth Night ´s ring ´ (The French Name is "the Kings ´ Cake").
have a very good day.
Maryse. |

For Mardis Gras you often hear of "King Cake"--perhaps that would be an acceptable translation. |
