Canarian Spanish

[PHo]

Sometimes I wish my Canarian Spanish was better than it is.  I was reading a google translate of an article about a cookery book in La Provincia online - quote
"Carmen Cabrera Cabrea (Giniginamar, 1944) successfully presented last night in the village of Tuineje his fourth book on desserts taste their exquisite turds.  "All I learned with my neighbors and friends who taught me that eating turds was not only a popular expression but also a very rich dessert," he said."

Anyone know what cagajones really are?

Horse or Donkey muck.

I found this:

Proverbs are still an essential part of folk-speech everywhere in the Hispanic world and, in this, the Sephardim are no exception. As is the case with other proverb traditions, Judeo-Spanish refranes are often pithy, pungent, and sarcastic, using direct—and sometimes very crude—language to get across a crucial lesson:

eg.  "Cagajones y bembrillos son amariyos" (Turds and quinces are both yellow); Therefore I assume that the Dessert is something made with Quince and resembles the look of a Turd.

Much like Chorros  . We all love to eat these at fairs, but the word comes from Diarrhea. When the mixture is liquid, it is then sqeezed through a machine, and when it come out, it looks like Diarrhea coming out

I see a joke about 'horses doovers' coming along soon.

Here we go: A sweet  similar to doughnuts  only round. Resembling a pile of Horse Poo.

Also, did you know that the English word, Cacka  , comes from Cagajon, the "g" being pronounced like a soft "ck". As in Giniginamar.

Another example of Spanish naming things as they see it is a Danish Pastry. Caracola, becuase it looka like a Snail
