almondine

[prettygoodword]

almondine (AL-mun-deen) - adj., garnished with almond slices.


Also Anglicized as almandine. Unlike most English adjectives, this goes after the noun it modifies -- so that's green beans almondine in the picture, not almondine green beans:


Thanks, WikiMedia!

From French, though it's spelled almandin there.


Administrivia: I'm taking a break for the end-of-year holidays -- back in January with more words. Stay safe out there.
