  -> Thanks very much! :)
disagree  Laureana Pavon: A "chipaca" is a type of bread, not a plant. Added: Well, the reference you posted talks about "tapioca plantation" that's why I was under the impression you thought it was a plant.

  -> Tapioca is not the name of a plant: check it out. I understand what you're saying, but in English this would be understood as general tapioca recipes: think cous cous, polenta, etc. Perhaps "tapioca bread" as above, in brackets after "chipaca" in italics.

agree  Kate Major: Yes. This is indeed a great photo of chipaca. But don't you think an explanation is deserved, or do we leave readers in the dark? As I said above, I think a gloss in brackets is appropriate in this case.

  -> Thanks. Obviously a gloss in brackets is appropriate, perhaps "typical Argentine bread" or the like.
