Argentina Post #3 : The Food

Well, this is the post where I display one of my favorite hobbies ... taking pictures of food. Captions will be below the delicacies.

This is an Argentine treat like no other ... Carmen Coridini (Mari's mother) empanadas.

This is hard to write the captions ... I want to go back and eat them.

This is the food tray the bus company gave us for a mid-afternoon snack.

Our first day in Patagonia, we took my Mom out for her birthday. I believe this is trout w/ french fries.

At the cabin in Patagonia, we celebrated my Mom's birthday w/ this dulce de leche cake.

Similair to the Carmen Coridini empanadas, this is the homemade pizza by Tere, Mari's sister.

Argentina is not the best place for vegetarians. This is the lamb we had for Christmas Eve dinner.

This picture has the chorizo (sausage) and the chicken I marinated.

You know, I have no idea what this is, but rice is served w/ a lot of meals.

Some chicken before it is turned into a fine meal by Carmen.

She loves to cook and I love to eat her cooking.

These olives were incredible!

These are chicken milanesas ... very good!

This was a great cafe we went to in Buenos Aires.

A burger from La Biela.

We were feeling artsy at the cafe.

This is Mario making pastel de papa (potato quiche).

This was our New Years Eve Argentine Asado (BBQ).

Nene (Mari's sister) made this meatloaf for New Year's ... it was incredible.

This was an after dinner fruity champagne w/ raisin bread.

Havana is a classic alfajor shop. The coffee + cookies are incredible.

These are empanadas made by one of Mari's cousins.

I believe this was pizza made by Mari's Dad's sister (aunt).

Tere made lots of pizza ... everything is homemade!

Fresh salads are a staple in Argentina.

This is beef milanesa.

Florencia (our older niece) made these croquetas de arroz (fried rice patty).

Cookies.

One of the highlights of the trip was having dinner w/ Sandra and Ruben. The excelled at showing us incredible hospitality. They were also the ones who gave us the name of the place we stayed in Patagonia.

This was the dinner Sandra made for us. More milanesa ... chicken style.

These were homemade meatballs made by Carmen.

Chicken + rice by Carmen Coridini.

Jimena made this delicious cake for dessert.

Chicken w/ apples ... yeah, delicious.

The final night we had Asado ... these were incredible chorizo ... I can taste them now.

This was pork served after the Chorizo's ... incredible.

And of course, I end w/ the Carmen Coridini empanadas.

I hope you enjoyed this food extravaganza post. Coming up in the next few posts will be an update about the Gaylord percussion gig. Have a great day!
