My favorties:
>> Alfajores de Minas, a pastry made of two soft round cookies filled with Dulde de Leche (close to caramel) and coated with white icing. In the picture, a young attendant at the Alfajores Serranos factory, near Minas, invites me to help myslef to an alfajor.
>> Garrapinada, peanuts coated with melted sugar and more, and sold in small packages in the streets of Montevideo by specialized peddlers.
>> Asado de Tira, a unique butcher stripe like cut made on the flank of the cow which is barbecued the uruguyyan way.
>> Cortado, a local version of the machiato.
>> Sandwiches calientes, hot ham and cheese sandwiches which are served in bars and cafes.
I'm leaving tomorrow!
