Um, Gary, what's an "alfajores"?

Yeah - you already read my previous post, and you're wondering what this word is, and how to say it.

Alfajores.

"al-fa-HOR-ace." (when you say that, gurgle your "H" and roll your "R"

"al-fa-kkhhHORdrdrdr-ace."

Here's what you're talking about...




It's like a Twix bar, actually. Only better.

If you've been to Russia, it's like a "Napaleon." Only better.

It's like a three-nilla-wafer sandwish with caramel and chocolate in between." Only better.

It's like a hot S'more off the grille. Only better.

I'm sure you can find them on eBay.com. You won't regret it.

Tonight, at Alice Peacock's, Pablo helped me buy some of these alfajores - the "Milka" brand with chocolate filling - and we ate some unbelievable ice cream with them. Muy Rico'! (tasty)

Kudos to Alice and Pablo for helping us experience the finest in Argentine chocolate decadence.

Actually, instead of "Kudos," we might use our new word.

"Alfajores!"
