chestnuts

French translation: châtaigne ou marron

22:57 Mar 20, 2002
English to French translations [Non-PRO]
English term or phrase: chestnuts
1 pound of chestnuts finely crushed.
French translation:châtaigne ou marron
Explanation:
En terme de nourriture, en théorie seule les chataignes sont comestibles, mais on parle pourtant de "crème de marron", "purée de marron", "dinde au marron".... Dans la nature on ramasse des châtaignes pour les faire griller

S'il s'agit d'un ingrédient pour faire un gâteau par exemple j'opterais plutôt pour marron. La phrase pourrait donc se traduire par

450 gr de marrons pilés ou broyés ou bien écrasés ou émiettés
