But what about chocolate? I’m a chocoholic and was going to quickly run out of my travel stash. That’s almost an emergency in my book.

I asked my friend Adriana Inés Bertola, an Argentinian native, what to do. She said be sure to try “Chocolate en Rama.”

I soon found it—it is long, thin strips of chocolate bound together. It’s created by chocolatiers throwing their chocolate in a thin layer on a marble top and picking it back up at just the right moment. I wonder if this is a creative substitute for the conching done by European chocolatiers?

Anyway, the chocolate was delicious. Penguin agreed.

Thanks, Adriana!
