Empanadas de carpincho
Apart from lots of beer and wine, and the large asado we had, I tried a new kind of empanada. Usually the filling is carne (beef), or pollo (chicken), or jamon y queso (ham and cheese). This time, there was a new kind of meat called carpincho - we tried to work out what it was in English, but we couldn't. It tasted good, anyway.
The next day down by the river, 4 lads came along with a couple of rodent-like creatures that they had captured to tame as pets. These were carpinchos, I was told. Apparently, capybaras are know here as carpinchos. I almost feel guilty for eating something that I have only seen before in zoos. But not that guilty. They shouldn't taste so good.
