My family habits

In Argentina my family and me used to eat 3 times a day. We ate "mate cocido", tea, chocolate milk or coffee with croissants, "facturas"(pastries stuffed with dulce de leche), bread with butter, salad cookies or toast for breakfast. For lunch we had starters and main cores. For starters we ate salads or soups and for main cores, we ate meat with some vegetables and potatoes or fish with pasta, finally sometimes we could eat some desserts (ice-milk, gelatin, flan...) . At night, for dinner we ate something light. These meals are the same compared with meals of Catalonia. For example: for breakfast we eat bread with tomato and some sausage, is a difference with Argentina and other countries. A similarity is that Catalonia cuisine consist of a solid meat or fish dishes, accompanied by plenty of fresh vegetables and salad. I am usually eat these food but I prefer the Argentine meals.And sometimes miss "facturas", especially because when I was a child I liked to go to the bakery and get all I wanted.
