Torta ((:ˈtorta)) is a Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese word with a wide array of culinary meanings. ==Flatbread== It originated in different regional variants of flatbread, of which the ''torta de gazpacho''〔(Albacete - Gazpachos Manchegos )〕 and ''torta cenceña''〔(La Roda, torta cenceña )〕 are still surviving in certain areas of Central Spain. Tortas are also mentioned in Leviticus 24:5-9, in the Spanish translation of the Bible. Presently, however, the word ''torta'' is also applied to different kinds of bread and pastry products according to the region. Historically, the difference between ''torta'' and bread was its round and flat shape, as well as the absence of yeast in its preparation. The well-known word ''tortilla'', used mainly in Mexico (not in Spain, though), means a "small torta", while ''tortada'' means "big torta". In most regions, a ''torta'' was traditionally considered an inferior form of bread, as the well known Spanish aphorism expresses: In turn, in Mexico a variation says: ''A falta de pan, tortillas'' ("Where there is no bread, ''tortillas'' are fine"). ''Torta frita'' is a fried flatbread eaten in Uruguay and Argentina. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「torta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
