The completo is a hot dog made with freshly baked bread then smother the entire thing with guacamole and some kind of cheese spread on top. YUM!
I had never had an empanada with anything but dessert type fillings. Here they make them with all kinds of fillings. We love the napolitano type with tomatoes, cheese and meat but they make them with cheese, shrimp, seafood of all kinds, sausages, etc. etc. Then fry them all up to crispy, golden brown.
The jugos are a big issue for me. I just can't get enough. They make them with fresh fruit, sugar and water or milk then blend it all up and .....mmmmm! Mango, banana is my favorite combination. The kids love the strawberry, papaya. Geoff's favorite is orange, pineapple- I think. We love them.
You know what makes the perfect meal? All 3 of them together!!! Wow! Save up the month of calories for this!
I know you are going to figure out how they make all that so when you get back we can enjoy too!.... right?!! I'm drooling all over the keyboard, I better go eat my granola and yogurt. dang! that looks better!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the Kid History videos- "But, if you buy two completos, it's only two dollars!" "But"..... =) I love the pictures. Now I know what all that yummy food looks like. Matt said he would drink a lot of fruit drinks mixed with water and a little sugar- while on his mission. The first thing he made for us after he got home, was watermelon water. It was quite tasty!
