Significado
Describing the texture of bread.
Contexto cultural
Bread is often eaten with 'Shai' (tea) for breakfast. The softness is essential for dipping. In the capital, 'Dabo Bet' (bread houses) are everywhere. People queue early for the softest loaves. Special bread called 'Qurban' is used in church. It must be perfectly soft and fresh. Traditional bread is often baked in clay ovens (mitad), resulting in a unique softness and smoky flavor.
Check by touch
In many local shops, it is okay to gently press the bread (through the plastic) to check if it is 'leslasa'.
The Soda Trap
Never just say 'leslasa' if you are hungry. You will get a Fanta instead of a snack!
