Portuguese term

EMB.

Portuguese to English Other Cooking / Culinary flatware
ESPATOLA P/MANTEIGA EMB.C/6 PEÇAS

This is from a list of various types of flatware. I'm thinking it's "embalagem" but they've also used the term "cartela," which I believe is "pack," so I'm a bit confused.

Cristina, I think you're right...cartela is card. The forks are attached to a card. I saw some picture of this on the internet.
Amy Duncan (X) (asker) Jul 25, 2007:
Here's an example of "cartela":
CARTELA C/4 GARFOS

pack

In this case six-pack. Amy has hit the bull's eye by saying "cartela" is normally used when there is a cardboard backing attached.
