Hello everyone! My name is Cesar, Im from Montevideo Uruguay, and in this post Im sharing with you some of our most popular meals, and then ill give you some recommendations of places to try my favourite ones 
As we are neighbours with Argentina, you will se that our tipical meals are almost the same, so i think this post also will help you if you are travelling around Argentina (:
Lets start with the snacks! I think in these cases an image shows more than words, so here goes!
First of all, you must know our best candy its called “DULCE DE LECHE”, to me is the thing i miss the most when im in another country.
It looks like this!
Alfajores: one of my favourite snacks! It has a lot of dulce de leche, and it has several shapes, my favourite one is with chocolate:
And the other tipical snacks are bizcochos! This bakery could be saulty (chesse, ham, for example), or sweet (dulce de leche, cream, dulce de membrillo, etc)
Ok, now the meals! As Uruguay its a meat country, our most popular meals are includes meat but of course there are vegetarian options like pizza, pasta, or vegetable pies.
Chivito! Its like a meat sandwich with a lot of things inside. It has bacon, eggs, pepper, muzzarella, ham, olives, tomato, lettuce, mayonesse, and most of the time its rounded by fries. Should try this one!
Empanadas! More popular in Argentina but also a tipical meal from Uruguay, you can take them almost everywhere and the filling could be cheese, ham and cheese, meat, spinach, almost everything in the imagination of the cooker!
Probably you should take at least 3 for a complete meal.
Milanesa its like schnitzels. You can have it made of meat, chicken or fish. Of course as we are in Uruguay the most popular is with meat, and the best way to try it is prepared “napolitana”, its milanesa with tomato sauce, ham and muzzarella, delicious!
Pascualina, its also a popular meal that you can have everywhere but its not very good in everyplace so you should trust in your eyes ja! Its a pie made of spinach and mostly have entire eggs inside, a very good vegetarian option je
Gramajo! I love gramajo, to me its the best way to eat fries. Its an scrambled eggs-french fries with ham, parsley and onion and i recommend always to squeeze a lot of lemon!
Well that all for now, ill write another post later with my favourite places to try all these delicious uruguaian meals and snacks
