/Sounds like "TOON" (as in "tool") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
A white freeze-dried potato from the Andean highlands, made by alternating overnight frost with daytime sun. Softer and milder than its darker cousin chuño, tunta soaks up the flavors of stews beautifully and is a staple ingredient in Bolivian and Peruvian cooking.
“Bolivian fricasé comes with tunta, it just wouldn't be the same without it.”
“Well-soaked tuntas are perfect for breakfast with cheese.”

Guapo
In the Dominican Republic, "guapo" means angry or in a bad mood, not handsome like in the rest of the Spanish-speaking world. A classic false friend that causes real confusion: what sounds like a compliment is actually a warning to back off.
