Funny thing Internet. Just surf a bit and you discover that two tremendously typical things of your hometown (Genoa, Italy) are just to be found at the other side of the world and spelled in Genoese.
So I discovered that in Buenos Aires you can eat "Fugazza" (focaccia in Italy) and "Faina" (farinata in Italy). This is not so crazy if you think that the Genoese founded the Boca in the XIX century but funny anyhow to see how the dialect words place their roots in the Pampa country. One more reason to go there someday.
By the way the best focaccia in Genoa can be eaten at Priano (Voltri). The best farinata at Vexima (also in Voltri).

It's absolutely true: I spoke with a guy from Argenina and I was literally taken aback when I gave him some focaccia to taste and he simply said" Yes I know it we call it fugazza in Argentina" I'm a tourist guide working in Genoa and you can imagine my amazement...the world is small ; )
