Why does every ex-Spanish and Portuguese colony have their own form of empanadas?

lots of unrelated countries have that all over the world

Theyre pretty nasty and the crust is dry as fuck. Hot pockets are better

you do know not all empanadas have to be baked, right? if you don't like the dry crust you can try the deep fried version

We have pastes because of Brits, actually.

we don't have empanadas
the closest is this

We kinda do now, I guess. Not sure if Argentinians brought them in the 70s, though, but I remember eating empanadas when I was a kid and they weren't labelled as foreign. Dunno.

>deep fried
why do i KNOW this is a brown people thing

we have them in the north
we also have one made with maíz instead of flour pastry, I know them as chonitas

That sounds diarrhea inducing

i'm from a small city in michoacan and never saw any empanadas until i moved to a big city and here they're all sold in argentinian places. there are also some pastes places, though but much less

>implying deep fried was not started by white americans

my empanada > your empanada

agreed
what's a funny Argentine name to call you

I thought Argie cuisine was all fake Italian shit

EVOLVED italian shit
argentina+america forever

Actually true.

The Milanesa Nepolitana is interesting though. Like pizza on a steak

that's a pastel, empadas are the pic related

that's because you are probably thinking about the american way of deep frying food
looks as if you were making cupcakes. How's the dough?

That's Austrian cuisine, tho, and everyone in the world has it.
