Ñoquis del 29 · Buenos Aires
Italian-Argentine potato gnocchi eaten on the 29th of every month, with a peso slipped under the plate for luck. Argentina's most superstitious meal.
The 29th-of-the-month gnocchi ritual came with Italian immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th century. The story: salaries ran out before month-end, so families ate cheap potato gnocchi on the 29th and slipped a coin under the plate to attract more money. Almost every porteno restaurant serves them on the 29th.
