Post 5: Food

 

There's nothing like being hungry and eating your favorite food. Well... my favorite food is... "empanadas".

 They are made by folding dough over a filling, which may consist of meat, cheese, tomato, onions, tuna, chicken, or other ingredients, and you can cook them with oil (fry them) or put them into the oven. The beauty of empanadas is that they always taste good - it doesn’t matter if they are stuffed with chicken, vegetables, or cheese. An empanada is a thin crust stuffed with a salty or sweet preparation. The dough is made of corn or wheat flour.

 I love empanadas. Mum used to make them with lots of chopped meat, fresh chopped white onions, and some spices. Her speciality was a soft dough and a steady oven. 

Empanadas are not a healthy meal but there are ingredients and ways to prepare them that could make them less caloric. However, excess is bad.

 What is fascinating and exciting about empanadas is that they can be eaten for breakfast, appetizer, main course, and some empanadas are even dessert. In general, I can really say that empanadas are very versatile foods. You can eat them on the go, at home, taking a picnic with friends or simply going to the nearer supermarket and getting some, they are the best food in the world. However, I still miss my mum's empanadas, they are the best ever!
