Sophia S.: Hello, Stoneleigh Walkers! This week we walked 213 miles in Argentina from Buenos Aires to Parana. We would like to tell you about some of the foods from Argentina we got to try during the Jungle Club meetings.

Emma R.: The empanada looks like a smaller version of a taco, but instead of cheese and lettuce, there is minced meat, cod fish, and chicken. In Argentina, it is considered the national dish. In Spain, the dish is called Galician empanadas, where as here, it is just called empanada.

Emma F.: Yerbe Mate comes from yerba which means herb and mate which is a hollow gourd used as a bowl for brewing yerba mate. Yerba Mate is a drink similar to tea and is very popular in South America.

Ariel B.: You typically use a special metal straw that has little holes at the bottom so that the chopped up leaves in the beverage aren't consumed. The Yerba Mate is made by using a gourd, as a bowl, and adding water and chopped up leaves. We hope you enjoyed listening about Yerba Mate and we encourage you to...

Keep Walking!
