Easter bread? Explanation: I would probably leave it as briochée, in quotation marks or italics, rather than translating it as a very rich yeast dough made with butter and eggs, made from brioche, or " Easter bread " in the US...if you can use that, and yet it is close, but no cigar... Some words are simply untranslatable and better be left alone. i.e. terroir, incontournable,la rentrée etc. that I have come across recently... mes deux centimes, André |

(problem sending: try again) Explanation: Briochées is actually a word. It is an adjective which qualifies something as having the taste and the consistency of brioche. I think "briochéed" or "brioched" would be the closest to the French word. But if you want to have fun, how about "pastrioches", "fluffioches", "Mmmmrioches", "briocheous", "deliochous", "briocheables", etc. Does this give you a few ideas? |

buns Explanation: Just an idea. "Brioche" does exist in English but only someone who's been to France knows what it means. |
