Did you know the empanada de atún is basically a bodyguard for leftovers? In many cultures, it was invented to hide yesterday’s fish. Genius.
In Argentina, they have a specific day for empanadas. No joke. It’s like Taco Tuesday, but with more flaky dough and less sour cream. Respect the tradition.
Fun fact: Some bakeries in Spain serve them cold. I know. It sounds weird. But it’s like a savory, fishy hand-pie that’s the perfect picnic food. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it with a cold beer.
