Hi there. "Coca" seems to me a little problematic, since I have found "coca" in the form of sponges, tarts, flatbreads and pizzas...
I think, from my research, that these are very thin flatbread ones, in the case of the "vidre i sucre" often with pine nuts on top.
My question: why "glass"? And what's the best translation in English, do you think? I will most likely leave the original but want to provide a gloss in parentheses. Any explanation would be gratefully received.
I have found translations ranging from "glass flatbread" to "crystal bread" and am unconvinced...
Explanation: Or: pastry/flatbread topped with crystallized sugar
