can anyone translate the following word from a spanish cuisine menu: ceviches?

Answer 1

Raw fish marinated in lime or lemon juice with olive oil and spices

Answer 2

"Ceviche" ("spelt by some as "cebiche") is "raw fish". It is a popular dish in Peru - some would say Peru's national dish - and possibly in some other countries. I have a strong belief that the word "Ceviche" has evolved in Spanish from the Japanese word "Sushi" - Peru has a huge Japanese community dating back many generations. Indeed, a recent President, Alberto Fujimori, was of Japanese descent. My Peruvian daughter-in-law and her family totally reject my theory and insist that Ceviche is 100% Peruvian in origin, and that if there is any similarity between the words "Ceviche" and "sushi", then the Japanese must have pinched the word from the Peruvians.

By the way, Ceviche is delicious, especially when marinated in "leche de tigre" (tiger's milk - a chilli marinade) and is actually quite different from Sushi.

Answer 3

Ceviche (also spelled as cebiche, seviche or cevice) is a form of citrus marinated seafood salad that originated in its current form in the Viceroyalty of Peru.[citation needed]. One theory suggests that it got its name from the Quechua "siwichi". However, it is likely to be a cognate of another Spanish word, "escabeche" (marinade), derived from the Arabic term "sikbaj". Also known as Tapadas Limeñas, some believe the dish was developed in the regional north coast of Peru,[citation needed] somewhere between Lambayeque and La Libertad, as a mestizo inspiration replacing the chicha (originally used by the Moche as the dish's marinade) with lime, the aromatic and acidic touch of the Moorish cuisine.[citation needed] Both Chile and Peru claim the origin.[citation needed] The popularity of ceviche spread internationally in the latter part of the 20th century[citation needed], and is now a significant part of the Mexican cuisine, as well as those of Central America and other parts of South America, especially Ecuador.

Answer 4

Ceviche is a fish salad made with lime juice instead of heat to cook the fish. The fish is uncooked and usually with peppers or some kind of veggies (like onions, tomatoes, and bell pepper).

Answer 5

It's kind of a Spanish sushi in which the seafood is marinaded in a citrus juice and the acidity of the juice supposedly cooks it. I am not a big sushi fan but it sounds tasty and they claim the juice cooks the seafood, so I gave it a shot. Yuck! It still tastes like raw fish with marinade. I didn't like it at all!

Answer 6

Ceviche is marinated conch or other firm fleshed fish. It is found all over Central America and the Caribbean. It is eaten cold and is delicious.

Answer 7

Ceviche (also spelled as cebiche, seviche or cevice) is a form of citrus marinated seafood salad that originated in its current form in the Viceroyalty of Peru.

Answer 8

There is no English word for it. It's crab meat or other fish cured in lime juice usually eaten on a tostada. The meat is uncooked. It's very good.

Answer 9

Marinaded fish salad or marinaded seafood. It should be spelled "cebiches" - that'll sort out the linguists from those that simply use an online translator.

Answer 10

It is a salad of raw fish cooked with lemon or limes. just cooked by the acid in the lemons or limes.
