Milanesas De Soja - Argentina

Not the most exciting thing I’ve eaten by a long shot, but in a land obsessed with charred animal flesh, these things can be a life-saver for a hungry vegan traveler. 

Milanesa De Soja translates roughly to “soy cutlet” as far as I can tell.  They are like thin oval shaped veggie burger patties and they are everywhere!   Most of them are vegan,  but some are stuffed with cheese.  

I was pretty surprised at how common these things are, from corner markets to grocery stores, and on lots of pretty normal “Porteño” restaurants and resto-bar menus. 

My Spanish sucks, but be warned, if you ask for one at a restaurant, make sure you’re actually ordering a sandwich… I don’t know what the deal is, but more than once I ended up with just the cooked patty on a plate. :(
