Meaning and background
The story behind Chilindrina
Chilindrina is a regional Spanish food word rather than a name with one tidy universal translation. The Spanish language academies record a Mexican sweet bread, round and covered with coarse sugar, and a different Honduran dish of tortilla strips and toppings. The term may also be familiar as a character nickname in Mexican television, but that association is separate from its dictionary senses. Which reference a dog owner intended remains unknown.
