Sopaipilla (1947)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   "Sopaipilla" will be in the next volume of DARE.  I don't know what they
have and I hope this helps.  Ancestry updated the DEMING HEADLIGHT (NM), as I
knew they would.

PAN AMERICAN ROUND TABLE--Members and guiests enjoyed a dinner of true Latin
American flavor at their dinner meeting at Rio Mimbres Country Club Wednesday.
 (...)
   The delicious dinner menu included foods prepared in the manner of six
different Latin American countries.  The cocktail was Brazilian iced cafe
chocolate.  Costa Rican Sopa De Albondigas followed.  The meat was prepared to an
Argentina recipe for Puchero.  The green beans were flavored in the Uraguayan
manner and the Frijoles Refritos were inspired by Costa Rica.  The Ensalada de
Guacamole was according to Mexico and the dessert of Bunelos is a Nicaraguan
dish.  For bread Mexican Sopapillas were passed and the coffee was served as from
Brazil.
