Foodporn

I was searching on the internet the other day for a good food market in BsAs (fyi theres ones in Belgrano, San Telmo and at the end of the A line) and came across the term "foodporn". I guess it means enticing pictures of food and seems to fall into the whole Warren Miller "skiporn" theme. I mention it because 1) I like food, 2) I like photos, 3) I like photos of food and 4) I totally support adding the word "porn" to other words.

So here is my list of the best ways to spend a couple pesos in BsAs, with some accompanying foodporn (work in progress):

1 Peso = $.33 USD: The Chinese empanada on Arribenos St. Chinese Empanada
2 Pesos = $.65 USD: In a country obsessed with helado/gelatto, the best 2 pesos is still the McDonalds vanilla softserve Helado
3 Pesos = $.98 USD: Choripan = Chorizo (sausage) + Pan (bread). Mmmm, street food Chorizo
4 Pesos = $1.31 USD: Tea. By itself, 4 pesos for tea would be a good deal, but here you get a whole spread of tea plus ice cream (or cookies) plus sparkling water Tea
5 Pesos = $1.63 USD: Two napolitana empanadas from San Juanino, conveniently located across the street Empanadas

Otherwise, its been a week of good-byes. Michael (another ADPer) left last Thursday, Patrick and Marjan left Sunday (for DC, the Dominican then who knows) and Tracy and Cy were back this weekend and since they are leaving tomorrow which means we're all off to Siga la Vaca tonight.

Barbaro!
