So, sorry to go back there but food for thought (pun intended), I just asked my gf who's 1/2 Italian and grew up in Italy. She says lasagne as well. Are you sure it's not a regional thing? She is more fluent in Italian than she is English! Kind of like how there's different spellings of words in different counties of the UK.
(Not bringing it up to be clever or smart, now I am genuinely intrigued as to which is right!)
You can call lasagne(plural), the strips you use to prepare the dish, but the final product is one, therefore called lasagna.
As I already said, lasagne is plural and you can use it only for multiple. If you prepare it making many little portions that would be the case, but normally you make one "pie" and singular is lasagna.
Lasagne (/ləˈzænjə/ or /ləˈzɑːnjə/ or /ləˈsɑːnjə/, Italian pronunciation: [laˈzaɲɲe]), U.S. spelling sometimes lasagna, is a wide, flat pasta shape and possibly one of the oldest.[1] The word also refers to a dish made with this type of pasta with different sauces and baked in the oven. As with most other types of pasta, the word is a plural form, lasagne meaning more than one piece of lasagna ribbon. Traditionally, the dough was prepared in Southern Italy with semolina and water and in the northern regions, where semolina was not available, with flour and eggs. Today in Italy, since the only type of wheat allowed for pasta is durum wheat, lasagne are made of semolina (from durum wheat) and eggs.[2]
North American English speakers use lasagna. English speakers from outside North America usually use lasagne. Other than the spelling, there is no difference between the words in English.
The word comes from Italian, of course. In that language, lasagna is the singular noun and lasagne is the plural.
For the flat, wide pasta and the dish made from such pasta, North American English speakers use lasagna. English speakers from outside North America usually use lasagne. Other than the spelling, there is no difference between the words in English.
The word comes from Italian, of course. In that language, lasagna is the singular noun and lasagne is the plural. The word first appeared in English in the 19th century, but the dish did not become popular in English-speaking countries (the U.S. first, then elsewhere) until the second half of the 20th century.
morning everyone...
-crawls back to bed and plays more FFX2-
I wanna replay FFX-2 so bad, but I'm waiting on the translation of International + Last Mission instead. :x
oddly enough, X-2, has been way easier to sit and play than XIII-2 has been.. gameplay, characters and story.
last time I played it, made it midway to chapter 3 (got pissed I couldn't win minigame for the Gambler sphere) and gave up (blaming this on FFXI as well)
barely reached chap.3 last night (3am) and already up +10% and more levels than my old save file lol.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
