Yeah, where exactly did those Spanish primera teams get their name from?

Thanks to Culture of Soccer who posted recently about the meaning behind those nicknames i can safely say that Real Madrid got the nick los merengues as an apparent gastronomist saw the resemblance between the uniforms and the lovely French dessert and the nickname has stuck.

More nickname fun here.
