Things that are huge in Argentina (besides the obvious steak)

  • Medialunas- little croissants, thinner and drier than in the U.S.
  • Migas- sandwiches that have no crust and are very thin, like they were pressed flat
  • Alfajores- pastries you can find EVERYWHERE, either in bakeries or individually packaged. Yummy and very bad for me
  • Milanesas- breaded meat, I think baked. Like a chicken-fried steak, but thinner and crispier (I haven't eaten it though)
  • Quilmes by the liter- awesome and cheap (update: not so awesome)
  • Stray dogs wandering the streets or sleeping on the sidewalks- I'm very concerned about their hydration levels. Not a food but who said this was only food-related? :P
  • Los Fabulosos Cadillacs
  • Dulce de Leche- similar in texture to soft caramel, and on or inside pretty much everything sweet. Extremely delicious and addictive.

Will add more later
