Sandwiches de miga
Sandwiches de miga are popular food items in Argentina and Uruguay, where they are consumed mainly at parties. The sandwiches de miga are similar to the English cucumber sandwich, which is a typical tea-time food, and resembles the Italian tramezzino.
The "Academia Argentina de Gastronomia" suggests that the sandwiches may have been introduced into Argentina by immigrants from Northern Italy. In contrast to that story, the Buenos Aires newspaper Clarín suggests that the sandwich was actually invented by local bakers at the Confitería Ideal
