Why on earth am I so excited about Martín Fierro? Because it's the best thing ever. And because an entire country has claimed one of my favorite odd food combinations as a national dessert. Is it possible to develop a crush on a country? Because if so I am officially enamored. There are many reasons, of course, but this one little thing puts the cherry on top (or, in this case, the dulce de membrillo).
For those of you who need a little more context, I like to eat fruit preserves on pretty much anything (crackers, hot dogs, pizza....) Yep, it's weird. One of my favorite snacks is strawberry preserves on slices of cheese, and I have always been made fun of for it. Dulce de membrillo isn't exactly the same, but the taste is similar (i.e., sooooooo gooood). I had it for dessert tonight--and not one eyebrow was raised.
This post goes to all the haters out there. :p
