I'm trying to verify if this means "vanilla-scented corn gnocchi" here. I've posted this question elsewhere but have not received a conclusive answer yet.

Any clarification would be much appreciated.

"Taco de txuleta con **gnokis avainillados de maiz** y alcochofa a la plancha".

corn gnocchi with a note of vanilla
Explanation:
Without having tasted or seen them, they do sound like "vanilla-scented corn gnocchi", although I find the word "scented" doesn't quite fit in with something you eat...

The thing is that "avainillado" implies just a hint of vanilla and not necessarily vanilla flavor...
