Talk:Torta

message: "Italian torta is a pie similar to quiche". This sounds strange; torta in Italy means cake.
What Italians visualize when hearing "torta" is a birthday cake or a wedding one.
Sometimes, not very often, the term is used with a suffix and only in that case may mean something different (e.g. torta salata, i.e. savory, containig ham and/or cheese and/or vegetables etc.). Without suffix, it's a cake.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C8:A6CA:7B01:7525:A93B:38D8:89D0 (talk) 23:37, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: wrong

message: There! Torta in MOST spanish speaking countries actually refer to cakes, it is only in Mexico and the US where its primary usage is that of a meat sandwich. Instead of relegating the other (much more widespread) meanings of Torta to a nonexistent article in the disambiguation page, I now grouped all of them by different regions - Mexico, the rest of South America, and the Philippines. All of whom have different meanings to the word.

thread_title: Separated it into Countries

message: why they put torta means sandwich??????? because is not true almost in all latin countries torta means cake so
this should be the first meaning on this page
:I completely agree. The title of this article should be changed to "Torta (sandwich)" in order to make the article specific to this particular meaning of the word.
:A search for "Torta" should lead to the disambiguation page  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.237.235.49 (talk) 09:15, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: something's wrong

message: The article doesn't mention anything about the sandiwch being fried or toasted, but I seem to recall that it is traditionally heated on a grill. --Viriditas 12:04, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Cooking style

message: The editor who wrote:
 "Cubana: ("Cuban", although its actual relation to Cuba remains doubtful"
completely misses the point of why the name of the sandwich.
In México, cuban women are sterotyped as women with luscious curves and beatiful figure and they are said too have "a lot of meat" (in a good way, as in large buttocks and large breasts).
So this "torta" is usually a combination of the many different meats (sometimes even eggs, sausages and some other ingredients), hence the "cuban" name.
Also, whoever wrote the list of common ingredients, doesn't seem to be very well familiarized with this dish.
In México, it would be very hard to find a torteria which would serve "gamba, pescado or cochinita pibil" tortas, while it would be almost impossible to find one which would NOT serve the ubiquitous "torta de pierna".

:Do you have a reference for that? I had never heard that theory. One theory I had heard is that the idea of putting at least two meats and cheese inside was inspired by actual Cuban sandwiches (for example, see ). Of course, the bread is different and some of the other ingredients are very different as well. Another thing to consider is that many torterias in Mexico like to invent mixed tortas with place names (Suiza, Española, etc.), but in those cases the name is usually inspired by one or more of the ingredients.

replies: text: I think you are right, it makes most sense considered under the context of the Cuban sandwich, for which wikipedia already has an article.  Article updated to reflect this.  –Andyluciano 05:45, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: The Torta Cubana

message: Torta in the is a filipino omelet.  I went to a mexican restaurant, I saw the foods they prepared, ready to serve... and I saw one that I liked.  I asked her what the hash brown-looking dish was.  She said "torta".  I thought, okay, torta, similiar to the filipino omelet dish.  She described the torta with bell ppeppers and carne asada put in.  I kept saying, "hash browns?"  She said, no, "torta/"  So I ordered a carne asada "torta", and I got a "philly cheese steak" looking sandwhich, called torta.  It wasn't what I wanted, I really wanted some omelet/potato type dish.  Eggs, porato, carne asada, bell peppers, onions and tomato would be good in a dish like that.    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.83.181.12 (talk) 03:47, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  torta 

message: The mention about "El Chavo" is not trascendental and seems completly out of place. Rather, there should be more information about the torta itself.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.228.79.67 (talk) 03:50, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
