Since the arrival of the conquistadors in America, the production of cows in Argentina did not stop growing, it seemed that the cows flourished as fast as the grass. However, this limited the diet of the inhabitants of these lands to a disproportionate consumption of meat, the rest of the sub products of the cattle were for export, we are talking about leather, the bait and the antlers.
Unlike the rest of Latin American cuisine, Argentinean cuisine is the least influenced by the pre-Hispanic cultures that dominated America before the arrival of the conquistadors. Of course there are some exceptions, in the north of Argentina there is still a strong influence on the most typical dishes, from the Inca cuisine.
If we were to apply this formula, we would be lost, dozens of hands would be raised to claim the Milanese's paternity. Spaniards, Italians, Austrians, Hungarians and French consider their parental rights as their own. Although it is true that the name adopted for this dish takes us to Milan, there is also no certainty that this is her place of birth.
There is not an exhaustive definition of the dishes that should be considered minutes, but there is a common characteristic that defines them. They are dishes made up of the simplest and most popular Argentine foods.

How was the original pioneer born? It was in Spain where the history of this pastry dish began. It was conceived back in 1897 and its original version consists of a sponge cake well moistened in some sweet syrup, then rolled up and then its crown toasted. For whoever developed this dish, it seemed to resemble the silhouette of Pope Pius IX, hence the name.

Few provinces have such extensive and affable coasts... countless small ports or radars have sheltered for more than 60 years, places that emerged around the port and the coast itself.
The vast province of Buenos Aires is one of the most characteristic territories of the Argentine soil. When we say "Argentina" we unfailingly say "Buenos Aires", we mean perfect soils, almost without decline, full of wheat, corn, soya beans... and unbeatable cattle...
Originally a flat, treeless territory occupied by brave, warlike aboriginal groups that appeared and dispersed at great speed across the vast pampas. It was Juan Díaz de Solís who first tried some names for these places, calling the estuary of the River Plate Mar Dulce.
This region of the Argentine Republic is located in the central-western area, land of the aborigines and the last place of the Inca empire that extended its roads to the current province of Mendoza.
The name indicates the essence of its territory... "totally surrounded by rivers", except for the missionary town of Bernardo de Irigoyen which is the only dry border in this geographical region of Argentina.
In a territory as vast as Argentina, it is not too difficult to define the particularity of each geographical region. In the case of the northeast, we can highlight the versatility of the landscape that passes from the jungle in strata on the banks of the rivers to the thorny mountain in the western Chaco.
Who only knows some isolated facts about Argentina, will never imagine the wonderful contrasts that this region of our country presents...the colours of the earth and the hills are confused in intense reds, dazzling ochres, permanent blue skies
Of dubious origin, many say that it was Magellan's chronicler who first used the term Patagonia in his writings, back in 1520.
Located in the eastern centre of the Argentine Republic, the mountainous destinations in the province of Córdoba and Buenos Aires are developed. All of them are Mediterranean, and their backbone is the Palaeozoic mountain range, which has been rejuvenated by the almost explosive rise of the Andes. In the particular case of Cordoba, it is impressive for its majesty.
