Medialuna means "half moon" - these are more crescent moons, but I guess that doesn't matter. Medialunas seem to be the typical Argentine breaksfast. Go to any cafe, restaurant or coffee shop for breakfast and you'll be hard pressed to find anything other than medialunas or toast - no grand slam, triple meat, home fries, eggs on a stack of pancakes kind of thing. I don't really get why people here are so slim. They eat a horrible breakfast, usually medialunas, coffee and juice, they eat tons of meat, and they eat a big, heavy dinner right before they go to bed. These medialunas are from a little bakery around the corner from where I live. I really should not be eating them, but they were hard to resist yesterday. The little round powdered things are little sweet breads with dulce de leche (caramel) filling.
