Vegetables Names

[Ceviche]

Hi

I am looking for local names for these vegetables and where to buy them.

Turnip

Okra

 

[EdRooney]

Okra = ocra

Turnip = nabo. e.g. "Ceviche, no seas nabo, dejate de tomar tantos esteriodes"

Okra's are sighted from time to time, most likely in Barrio China, they have a very short window in Argentina so if you see them, buy as many as you can stuff in your freezer.

 

[Ceviche]

online dictionaries..

even i used them, before I posted this post.

but many times things are called differently here than rest of Spanish world.

Yeah Okra has more names, for example Quimbombo.
but I don't know where to get any

 

[Gringoboy]

I think Gringoboy is another term for vegetable.

Be careful with Nabo (Turnip) ie dont go around the supermarket saying "Mi Nabo is muy grande"
