Well today is a holiday here in Chile, it is Labor Day. It's different here, that things are actually closed for the holiday. Susan and I were going to go get empanadas for breakfast and everything was closed. We didn't know it was a holiday, although I made the comment, seemed they were a lot of cars parked in the neighborhood.
Chilean empanadas can have a wide range of fillings, but there are three basic types that are the most popular:

• The first one is baked and filled with pino, a traditional filling consisting of beef, onions, raisins, black olives, and a hard boiled egg.
• The second one is usually filled with seafood and fried.
• The third type contains cheese and may be baked or fried, although the latter form is more common.

There are many variations on each of these basic types (e.g.: pino without raisins and olives; all kinds of seafood, like mussel, crab, prawns, or locos (similar to abalone); mixed shrimp/cheese; etc.). They are considerably larger than the Argentine type, usually with one empanada being enough for one person as a meal.



Well have a nice day...!!!!
