First, some of the students prepared the food. We had mince pies, dulce de leche on water crackers, sausage rolls, alfajores, jamon and queso sandwiches, chocolate chip cookies, potato top pie, bacon and egg pie, mate and orange juice.
First we had the mate. Mrs Vincent gave us a small cup and a bendy straw. She put a little yeba mate in our cups then she put a little hot water in each cup. I really hated the taste and it smelled like green tea. Then we rinsed our cups and the people who made the food served it to us. When we wanted something we were to suppose to speak Spanish.
“Me gustaria un alfajor, por favor.”
Then Mrs Vincent gave us orange juice. The food was really nice. I learned that Argentinians like mate. Mrs Vincent told us when she was in Argentina she saw lots of kids were holding a thermos and a mate cup. When they wanted mate they have this metal straw called a bombilla that has a filter and they drink it through that.
Hi Argentinian people! You guys rock! Keep on rocking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Empanadas rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(That means Argentine people are the best, and keep on being the best and that empanadas are really nice.)

We had small mince pies, small potato- top pies and small bacon and egg pies to represent typical NZ food. The mince pies are a little bit like empanadas.
We tried drinking mate in a cup with a straw. We learned how people used mate in Argentina. There is a map of South America and Argentina on the wall, and a marker to show where Parana is.
"Me gustaria un alfajor, por favor." These are some alfajores and some bizcochos that Mrs Vincent brought back from Argentina. We had to ask for the food in Spanish.
These are chocolate chip biscuits. They are a typical NZ snack.

hola a todos, cómo están? Conocí a Mrs Vincent en el viaje a The Iguazú Falls.
ReplyDeleteI write to tell you that we use to drink mate everywhere, any-time. When we are working, on holidays, in the afternoon when you go to a park. Some people have "mate" instead of coffe or tea for breakfast.
Mate for argentinians it's like a "friend", "it's there always waiting for you :)"
I hope you understand my english (espero que entiendan mi inglés)
Sólo quería saludarles (I just want to say hello).
