Empanadas argentinas, or Argentinian empanadas, make up a group of traditional Argentinian pastries filled with a variety of ingredients, from meat to cheese and vegetables. Although they are mostly enjoyed in their savory form, there are sweet dessert varieties filled with ingredients such as dulce de leche and quince.

The dough, typically made with wheat flour, is rolled thin and folded over a filling, and the resulting parcel is then baked or fried to golden perfection. Traditional empanadas often feature ingredients such as ground beef, onions, and spices, giving them a robust and savory flavor. 

These soft crescent rolls are regarded as the Argentinian take on traditional French croissants. Even though they are very similar to the French variety, medialunas are slightly more moist, smaller, and a bit sweeter. There are two traditional types of medialunas; the larger version made with butter, and the smaller version made with lard.

Both varieties are usually prepared plain, with a rum-and-sugar glaze on top. They are traditionally eaten for breakfast, ideally accompanied by a cup of strong coffee with milk, or as an afternoon snack served with yerba mate, a traditional Argentinian herbal tea. 

Revuelto de Gramajo is a popular Argentine hangover cure that is typically consumed and served for breakfast. It consists of only a few selected ingredients – scrambled eggs, thinly sliced ham, and fried potatoes, although some like to add green peas, chicken, or onions to the mix.

Gramajo is capitalized because the dish was supposedly invented by a man named Artemio Gramajo. However, there are multiple theories about the origins of this delightfully greasy breakfast: the first one says that Colonel Gramajo used to eat fried eggs, potatoes, onions, and ham for breakfast every day, while the other one says that the Colonel was a member of an exclusive club and restaurant in Buenos Aires where he played cards and billiard, and he used to order a special dish of scrambled eggs, Serrano ham, and peas.
