Argentina

Group F - ARGENTINA

What is it?

Medialunas with dulce de leche and a cup of mate.

How was it?

The medialunas (half moons/croissants) had an air of sophistication about their sugariness. The mate kept this meal grounded, stopping it from floating away in a sickly sweet haze. The medialunas had a fleshiness to them, which set them apart from other bastions of sweet that appear at the breakfast table.

Overall thoughts:

Simple, effective, and probably just the right amount of sweetness here. Dulce de leche is fairly strong stuff, but it was contained and made to be not too overbearing by the nature of the medialuna and the mate. It was a basic dish, but something about it felt quite refined.

If it was an Argentinian footballer?

Sweet like the delightful Angel di Maria.
