Please take a second or eight seconds, 🙂 (there are 8 pics) to look at gorgeous Patagonia. In some remote areas we just know we could read a lot of books and get a lot of writing done! The sky-OH! And the little twinkling village pic-WoW!
When we saw they had Empanadas on the menu, I could not think of tasting anything else!
It brought back memories of my mom making these when I was a little girl. I was not a picky eater, but I barely ate growing up. So for me to remember the flavors and the smells coming from our kitchen, we knew I had to sample one.Â
Unfortunately, I was disappointed, and this is where I stopped. The shell was dry and not mingling with any of the food it held. The meat mixture was decent with a slight zip. But it was missing any exciting flavors.
I remember my mom’s being served hot and crispy, with a tomatoey zing and beef and vegetables. I need to make travel arrangements and take a trip to a little village there and eat a hot fresh empanada made by locals.
Have you been or are you from Patagonia?Would you consider making us an Empanada!?

What I delight in with Patagonia is that despite the Spanish or Portugese of the ‘host Nations’, Patagonia is the only place where a form of Welsh is spoken by a large group of the population . Welsh settlers to Patagonia in the 19th C (1865) ensured the culture brought from home remained.
The Argentine Government reneged on their promise of autonomy and tried to change the language to their own but Welsh remained the language of hearth and home with Bara Brith still served at tea time.
Each year a group of Patagonians fly back to Britain to attend the Welsh Eiteddfod before returning to the Chubut Vallet and the Eisteddfodau they hold.
