I've never seen kale (the popular kind), and ALWAYS check whenever I'm in a new verdulería, my sources say it doesn't exist here. If you happen to find it, let us know!

It's not too hard to make homemade marshmallows, I've never found a good brand in BA, they are all frutilla or weird flavored and have a different consistency, especially when heated. This recipe has worked for me in the past...

hmmmm I'm confused, those aren't empanadas available centro/san telmo/recoleta... I'm taking myself on an empanada food crawl and on the hunt for the best in those areas.
