El Mate y Dulce de Leche – November 2017
Presented by: Karin Bertolini (Chile), Natalia Cofone (Argentina), Alicia Xifra (Argentina)
El Mate y El Dulce de Leche are two recognized culinary products in Latin America, mostly in Southern America. Both are typical products inviting you to share with family, friends, neighbors, and so on… They are used as a welcoming and comfort drink/food.
El Mate is more than a drink… It is a perfect partner everywhere. It is a good excuse to share with a friend, for reflecting, or simply for enjoying. First time drinkers do not like it since it is grassy and bitter, but after sharing the experience some become fans. Most people drink it as is, but you can always add sugar, sweetener, or even (condensed) milk, depending on your preferences.
El Dulce de Leche is a milky version of caramel. We eat it with everything or, actually, as an indulgent sweet treat by itself. So just grab a spoon and dig in! Maybe, you have tried the Dulce de Leche Frapuccino or Latte at Starbucks… Quite good, no? Dulce de Leche is such a simple perfect pleasure. Sorry, not lactose free; although you could make a kosher version using kosher condensed milk cans.
