Submarinos

It was cold at night and cool in the mornings in Humahuaca. I needed something to warm me up and discovered that an item I’d seen on many menus, a submarino, was hot chocolate. Much to my horror what arrived at my table appeared to be a cup of boiling milk. Aah, but in the hot milk is a chunk of solid chocolate which melts rapidly and within minutes the drink is ready. A local dish to add to picante de pollo, locro and llama stew (which I couldn’t bear to eat).
