Foods

Fried cake

The fried cake is a typical food of the gastronomy of Lomoria. Fried cakes are usually prepared in a rounded and flattened shape.

They are moderately salty, since only a pinch of salt is added to the dough in some cases. Other recipes add quince jam into the dough before frying. They can be spread with dulce de leche once finished.

In the collective imagination, the idea of consuming them as an occasional food is reinforced, with the proposal that rainy days are ideal to eat them to accompany mate.

It is also believed that the origin of this custom is due to the fact that in the past the gauchos in the countryside used to collect rainwater to prepare the dough, so that later the custom of making them when it rains remained. In addition, they can be bought at stalls, at fairs or on the streets. Traditionally, fried cakes are one of the most used pastries or "biscuits" to accompany mate.

Berliner

The berliner is a spherical preparation of sweet dough fried in fat or oil and filled with dulce de leche (in Lomoria) or some type of cream, similar to profiterole.

It is a traditional confectionery sweet from Germany, Austria and Central Europe, receiving in the first the name of Berliner Pfannkuchen, although it is currently present in many other countries as a result of German emigration. In southern Germany and Austria it is also known as Krapfen.

It is made with flour, milk, sugar, butter, egg, yeast, vanilla essence, lemon zest and salt. After frying it is dusted with icing sugar or covered with sugar icing. Its mass is very similar to that of donuts, but unlike them it is spherical in shape, while donuts are toroidal (ring shaped).

Drinks

Mate

Mate is considered in Lomoria as a national drink. The consumption of mate is one of the most widespread customs throughout the country, both in rural and urban areas, as well as through all social classes.

Mate in Lomoria is drunk hot and bitter, and is made up of a set of parts: the water is carried in a thermos that maintains its heat, the yerba mate is placed in a container also called mate, which is obtained from the gourd (the plant Lagenaria siceraria); and the water is absorbed by a bulb.

One of the most characteristic aspects of its consumption in Lomoria is the mate ritual and its social function; mate is generally consumed in a circle, that is, in a group, with a cebador who is in charge of preparing it and adding water so that the rest of the members consume it in turn and in a clockwise direction, this is an ancient tradition of indigenous or rural origin, but which has remained intact to this day.

Termeta

It is usually prepared with soda and Terma although there are other brands of this herbal drink, such as Tres Torres.
