They aren't so bad if you get them tostados.

And we cant forget about these either:

The name, however, is spot on but I believe it is spelled 'meagre'.

Could be spelled "mugre."

Should be! What ever you may call it ...., it is the antichrist of sandwiches. If you think Mickie Ds is bad this shit is cardboard with Mayo.

There is a new food in town. It's the cousin of the empanada, more wild, free, and open: the Canastita (little basket).

Canastitas new? I know all the costa atlantica beach towns have some kind of lost in time 70s / 80s vibe going but this is taking things too far. If you see Vital Tony down there please convince him to stay and never return.

Vital Tony will be returning from his sojourn in Miramar, revitalised and ready to terrorise the streets of BA in early February.

I have an acquaitance here who believes he could make a fortune in either the UK or Ireland selling the locals fucking sandwiches de miga. I asked him, that since we were perfectly capable of making our own cheese and ham sandwiches with industrial wallpaper quality ingredients what he thought his angle would be...how come they'd sell?

It's the bread apparently, what we're missing over there is really thin bread to wrap around the ham and cheese that my wee dog turns it's nose up at.

The dairy monopoly and the low quality ham monopoly have a lot to answer for here, unless you spend money the quality is really appalling. Sticking a pineapple or a stale olive soaked in months old brine in a sandwich does not suddenly make it interesting. I really really hate the bland "sweet and savoury" offering here, it's most satanic form is the dreaded pionono. Utter slop. Fit for the livestock.

Note, there is lots of good cheese and ham in the country, but you have to pay through the nose and it won't be in most of the supermarkets. Best cheese I had was from Merlot, San Juan. Bought from the side of the road, you have to keep it wrapped in clean film as the oily goodness seaps out of it, but the taste...marvellous. Somehow it has come to pass that if you want decent ham and cheese you need to stop by the side of the road (san pedro in la provincia is a good bet) to buy it.

Personally, I'm hoping that when the government changes in 2015 that Sangwiches de Miga will be banned and replaced with authentic Tacos de Carnitas and low cost duck confit.

Yes, I forgot that Argentina is famous for its variety and quality of bread
