Bocaditos (Finger Sandwiches)
It is traditional in the Catholic Church to not eat meat during Lent, so Argentines eat more seafood dishes during this time. Bocaditos (finger sandwiches), made with shrimp are a popular lunch or snack food during Lent.
This is not limited to Argentina, these dishes are popular in Mexico, Paraguay and other Central and South American countries.
Bocaditos are wonderful little finger sandwiches, and perfect appetizers for any party.
