E52 - A Journey Through Argentine Flavors: La Empanada

Argentine empanadas didn’t originate here—but Argentina is where they truly found their forever home. In this episode, I trace how a recipe that traveled thousands of miles became a patriotic tradition, a neighborhood staple, a reason to celebrate, and a symbol of identity. Get ready to dive into one of the flavors that best explains what it means to be Argentine—through history, culture, and the small details people argue about like it’s a national sport. This episode is entirely in Argentine Spanish.
