/Sounds like "PLAHS" (as in "plan") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
In Guatemala, a thick, large corn tortilla that is heartier and more filling than the everyday kind. The classic rural breakfast food: substantial enough to fuel a full day of hard work out in the field.
“I ate two plastes with beans and wasn't hungry again until the afternoon.”
“Grandma's plastes are enormous, just one is already more than enough.”

Buchón
A snitch or rat who tells on others to the authorities or exposes their secrets without being asked. In Argentina and Uruguay, the buchon is one of the most socially condemned figures: they broke the code, they talked, and now nobody can trust them again.
