Sundae, Argentine-Style

Forgive the blurriness, my eyes glazed over in anticipation.

This past week I received my bimonthly box from Try The World,  a subscription service that sends you a curated box of food products from a particular country. 

Naturally, I'm predisposed to love any type of vendor that delivers food to your door; however, Try the World is truly in a league of its own. From the cute but utilitarian packaging (collapsible Tiffany-blue boxes!), to the diversity in components (cookies, tea, sauces, spices!), to the clever touches (recipes and historical background sheets), this company has definitely tapped into what jet-setting (or those who aspire to be) foodies want. 

Drink it like regular milk.

The most recent box contained an assortment of goodies made in and traditionally associated with Argentina, including a jar of  Magdalena Dulce de Leche.  Some refer to Dulce de Leche as the official dessert of Argentina and while I'm not particularly well-versed in Argentine cuisine, cursory research suggests this sweet condiment is most often used to adorn baked goods. 

Leave it to an American, then, to dump a whole lotta it on some vanilla bean ice cream.

This product makes generic-brand caramel seem like HFCS-flavored rubber cement.
