Damn, the rare Portugal fitting in with Western Europe.

Actually, no. In Portuguese it's pistachio, although it's similar to the Italian way.

Don't know where they got pistache? from.

I honestly never heard that version given here for Serbia. We say "pistaći".

[–] SeekPie@lemm.ee 13 points 1 week ago

The Estonian one is kind of incorrect.

Right now it basically says "pistachio nut" not "pistachio". The correct one would be "pistaatsia".

Also, it's disrespecting our grammar rules, you can't split it where it is split on the image.

west: taking the pist

Well thats an interesting divide. From the map it looks purely geographical. Also, the albanian word looks like paint(festΓ©k) to me as a hungarian, but we already knew that albanians eat paint so thats not surprising.

Fun fact: in Polish, "fistaszek" is a peanut

Fun fact: Catalan should be both colours for pistatxo and festuc.

That's a pretty weird F, Bulgaria...

Fistic? Romania really? You like fistic?

Ukraine should start using the P.

I'm just glad both Hungary AND Finland aren't some weird cyan third thing

I wonder where Eastern Europe got the F version from? You'd expect them to follow the Greek version instead of the Semitic version*.

*This is the one used in Arabic, which got it from Aramic.

Bulgaria named it after Frodos best friend.
