leche

Café con additive

Leche is the Spanish word for milk, borrowed into English primarily in food contexts.

It appears in dishes like tres leches cake (a sponge cake soaked in three kinds of milk) and dulce de leche (a caramelized milk confection).

In some Spanish-speaking regions, leche functions as mild profanity.
