It’s freezing in Salta. Ok, not literally, but last night at 7:30 PM it was 14º C according to a lighted time & temperature display at the corner of Belgrano & Peyreddon. We went out for some exercise & as usual, the walk was far longer than we’d planned. All the restaurants we’d spotted on Saturday night were closed on Sunday.
Finally, we reached El Corredor de las Empanadas at the corner of Zuviría & Necoches. This place has the best tamales & humitas in Salta. Tamales cost 5 pesos; humitas, seladas (salted) or dulces (sweet), 10; un medio litro de vinto tinto de casa (a half liter of red house wine) 10. So for 30 pesos we enjoyed 2 tamales, 1 humita selada, a basket of bread served with picante (very spicy) sauce, & wine.
The humitas are to die for, so good that I sit for a while with each mouthful, refuse to swallow until I’ve savored & savored the taste.
