It does the same for cannibalism, though there was nothing like that on the schedule as far as I knew. But we had all day to talk about eating people. First, empanadas. I drooled a little watching Machado and Mark take bites of the face-sized empanadas, which were perfectly golden brown, bubbly in the right spots and oozy, not greasy. They were tasty, Machado said, but she was partial to the chicken-and-cheese pastelillos, fried turnovers similar to empanadas, that her Puerto Rican mother used to make.
