CAKE

This is my general term for food in Chile as cake seems to play an important part. In the shot of Maria and Kevin, the blackboard shows todays specials. There are three. Each involves "Medias Lunas" , which are mini croissants, and some sort of coffee and or icecream. This is at the Haagen Diaz cafe. Next door is a sushi restaurant, over there a pizza parlour, an Italian trattoria ( Tony Romas) and a pasty (empanada) outlet. All have cake on the menu. Starve you wont. (Still havent found the apostrophe)

For BIG CAKE you really have to go to a pastelleria which, of course, is a posh cake shop. We went to one as K and M wanted to order the nibbles for the reception. I put on two pounds just by walking through the door and breathing in! See pic of big cake. You can also buy slices off BIG CAKE. Just in case you cannot wait to get them home before you eat them, the shop also serves coffee and lets you use a table. Hence you can get about 10,000 calories down your neck, in five minutes, without the family knowing. If still unsatisfied, the pastelleria also sells boxes of chocolates although it was unclear whether or not they were sold as separate chocolates or in small quantities for eating in!

PS I watched the Carling Cup Final yesterday ( in Spanish of course). K and me were sat about in shorts and t shirts. I couldnt understand at first why people were wearing coats and scarves. DOH.
