Wordcrazy-- Re:I had a grandfather who was of Spanish descent who always called Germans, "Aleman"

So you know how to spell that? there is a word-- on the tip of my tongue-- similar to almonds-- almandl??? (related / translated from Mandle-- (as in mandlebrot-- or almond bread-- a german form of what we in US call Biscotti--) that i have heard as a word for german -- It a word i never use-- but recognize it as i hear it spoken by other as "German" -- but i have no idea why Germans would be called almond anything!-- and i can't for the life of me think who uses it!
