This part is especially for my "amigos" in Mrs. Armstrong's 6th grade class. Thanks for all of your comments and questions! A lot of you asked about the food here in Argentina. YES I DID eat the pig intestines. It was bearable, but I wouldn't choose to ever eat it again. Since you are so interested in what I eat - here are a few things that I have discovered during my time here about what and how they eat.
One of my favorite foods is pizza. I was happy to find that they do eat pizza here. In fact, they eat a lot of Italian food. The pizza usually has a thin crust and they love to put olives on it. What I thought was fun was the way they delivered the pizza to our home. The delivery boy drove a motorcycle with a box attached to the back to keep the pizza. It came in this round container tied with a bow. It was good, but I miss my Little Caesar's 5 buck Pizza!
One of the favorite desserts here is one called flan. It is a custard dessert made by mixing and baking sugar, millk and lots of eggs. They put it in a round pan and eat it in slices - like a cake. 
Laura Mallea is famous for making great flan. She makes one for us for every special occasion.
Another food that they like to eat is the empanada. These are half circles of bread that they fill will all sorts of different things. They can fill it with seafood or with meat or with ham & cheese etc. Whatever they like! They can bake them or fry them. This is one of my personal favorites. 
QUESTIONS FOR MY SIXTH GRADE FRIENDS:
Have you ever tried any of these foods?
Which foods sound good to you?
What would YOU put in an empanada?

Hi! If I had to choose to eat one of those foods then i would choose the empanada. I would choose chicken or ham to put in it. I would choose to shop in a normal store here in Utah, because i wouldn't want to be around raw meat. I would probably throw up. Thanks for answering all of our questions! I enjoy reading your blogs. They are very intresting. I love hearing about what they eat and how they do things there. I hope that I can follow my dream and go to Argentina like you. I would try all of those foods. They seem like they would be very good. I want to try Flan! It looks like a very intreting food, and it looks yummy! Thank you!

Does the flan that you had there taste different than the flan here? I've had flan at this one mexican place and I think they put too much egg in it, because 5 minutes later I threw up. And the question about what I would put in the empanada, I would put peppers, ham, cheese, salsa, chicken, garlic, and safron.
From: Tyson
I would personally like to try the pizza. It sounds really good. And I love olives! But on my epanada I would chose probablly the cheese because ti sounds really good. Which one is your favorite?
Sincerely,
Maddy Fergus.
Was the pizza good that you had? Emily Smith:]
i havent tried any of these foods but i would put roast beef,turkey,ham,miracle whip,musturd,avacado,tomato,olives,pickles,a little salt,maybe some vinegar and that would be the best empanada. p.s. The flan looks awsome.

Dear Miss Thomas,
I have tried mayonnaise!I have never had it again!The most interesting food is probaly the flawn.I would like to put either ham and cheese or chicken in the empanada.I think I agree with you about the pizza!I would like to have MY pizza delivered in a square box.

Kiriana
I hope you are having such a delicious time in Argentina!
Thank you for filling us in on all those interesting facts!Have fun!!!!!!!!!
your friend,
Emily Dean
I figured that the pizza there comes in circular boxes and ours come in square-like boxes.
I have also eaten empanadas tons of times when I go to Chile. That is pretty much all I recognize from there. Although, I would prefer a fried empanada with melted cheese. Yummmmm!
Margaret
I think that you should go to Chile next. It is very cool. They also eat empanadas. I think that you will love the food there.

I would understand if you missed little ceacers pizza. I couldnt live with out it or i would die!
AND THE WAY THEY SEND THE PIZZA THATS A COOL WAY. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A PIZZA GUY ON A MOTTER CYCLE THAT SWEET!
YOU THE BEST,
MICHELA!
It sounds like a lot of you are interested in flan! I will have to learn how to make it and we might just have to have a little party when I get back so that you can all try flan. What do you think?
