Casa de las Empanadas (and other empanadas) - November 24, 2010

Take out shop in Cordoba

Empanadas, you mean those greasy, grotesquely bright orange fried dumplings, sitting stale on some countertop and looking desolately unhealthy and unappetizing? Yes, I had seen them although I might have instinctively and rightly avoided them. When an empanada joint came into existence in the neighborhood, I watched it in disbelief, and when it went out of existence, I nodded in relief.

That was the pre-Argentina days.
