I was trying to ask "what is that?" I wanted to try some new pastries at Suvianda, but I've had some I didn't like in the past so I was trying to figure out what I was buying ahead of time. I tried to ask the lady at the bakery in Spanish, and then she answered me in English.
She said "bread."
So yeah, I knew I was buying bread-like items, but my criteria for today was to buy the ones that didn't have any sprinkles or filling.
I chose this one because I thought it looked like a pig.
I knew I wasn't imagining that they were all shaped like pigs so I asked the girls at the check-out aisle. I think they said it's called "puerquito," which makes sense, puerco=pork=pig, puerco+ito= little pig. The little piggy that came from the market tastes like gingerbread and molasses. I like it.
This one just looked flaky and delicious, like it has a nice egg wash on it, and it was tasty and light.
And this one I was just curious about.
It tastes like a very fluffy scone and slightly lemony.
The check-out girls said it was empanada, but that's not what it is. They were just basing that on the description that I gave them that it was triangular. The empanadas looked good though. Those are just the stuffed pastries with sweetened fillings. (The Mexican version.) They can be filled with pretty much anything though, kind of like a samosa in other cultures.
