According to a report, the podium of most favoured flavours is made up of carne suave empanadas on 20%, followed by ham and cheese, with 19%, and in third place, chicken, with 11%.
De carne suave, carne picante o cortada a cuchillo? Or maybe you prefer jamón y queso, pollo or capresse? Humita or roquefort? Whether fried or baked in the oven, empanadas have become one of Argentina's most iconic foodstuffs.
The national fanaticism for empanadas is such that a new study by the Asociación de Pizzerías y Casas de Empanadas de la República Argentina (APYCE) places the turnover treat as the third most consumed food in the country after pizza and asado barbeque. (The list of the top five is completed by milanesas and pasta.)
Drilling down into the issue, with the help of data from one of the most popularly used food delivery apps in Argentina, APYCE drew up a ranking of the most popular types. According to the report, the podium is made up of carne suave empanadas (non-spicy meat) on 20 percent, followed by ham and cheese, with 19 percent, and in third place, chicken, with 11 percent.
According to this ranking, in fourth place are meat empanadas cortada a cuchillo (i.e. chopped, not minced meat) with 10 percent, followed by humita (corn or maize) with seven percent. Vegetable empanadas are not far behind, with six percent, ahead of capresse (mozzarella, tomato and basil), roquefort cheese and carne picante (spicy meat) on five percent. Read More..
