Now we made it to YoQueVos, which by the way I really, really love how they manage to find so many unique stores, gifts, foods, entertainment, etc. Amongst all of their unique finds …

In Argentina, we have something called dulces, which resemble a solid form of jelly or jam. The two main flavors, are membrillo or quince, and batata or sweet potatoes. My all time favorite is dulce de batata. This paste-like sweet jelly is used mainly as a filling for pastries or a pie called pastafrola. Another great way to eat it as sliced, accompanied with fresh cheese.
While surfing the web, I ran across a great post about dulce de batata. Published by Rebecca of From Argentina With Love, don’t miss her …

Back in September 2009, Planet Joy gave us a rundown of their top 12 bakeries in Buenos Aires. Today I want to highlight my top 3. Buenos Aires is filled with incredible bakeries that are not mentioned in this post or in the Planeta Joy article. I will be highlighting those which I have experienced personally and that I find noteworthy.

The first one to highlight is the churro. Churros come to Argentines from their Spanish heritage, but only argentines have had the insight to fill them with dulce de leche!
Vamos Argentina!
