After one week here, I already have something that I am craving. Sandwich de Miga!! I first discovered them at a small little shop that I stopped into while I was looking for a quick bite. It looks just like a thin sandwich with the crust cut off and it is very common, even the Starbucks sells their version. It is filled with all different things. Ham is big here. There is always a choice with Ham and something. Egg salad is another filling. Argentines eat a lot of eggs in their meals. Another common choice is anchovies and Roquefort. The cool thing is that I actually found a shop that prepares them in public and they use large sheets of crust-less bread to make them, then they cut them in fours and diagonal. So they turn out to look like regular sandwiches. My favorite place is Mr. Miga, I go to the one in Palermo on Av. S. Ortiz 2429 but there are other locations. I will be eating one today.
This is pretty amazing Molly.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you really remember me, but we stood next to each other in PHS choir and reconnected briefly at the Harey Carey's opening in Lombard. I think it is great you are living out some of your dreams, and all the food looks fantastic. Thank you for writing some of your experiences down. Have a wonderful time learning and living in Buenos Aries.
