I'm not sure when the idea first came across the Atlantic but it strangely went out of fashion here a long time ago. I hope that is interesting information for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2245742803850545847.post-78860828546722157632010-04-25T12:12:52.120-07:002010-04-25T12:12:52.120-07:00Hi:
Thank you very much for your message. Vanilla ...Hi:<br />Thank you very much for your message. Vanilla is, of course, optional. It is added to give it a "special" flavour. Most receipes for homemade dulce de leche (http://cocinadelmundo.com/receta-DULCE-DE-LECHE---ARGENTINA - http://www.pasqualinonet.com.ar/el_dulce_de_leche.htm - http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dulce_de_leche - http://www.guiaderecetas.com/830_dulce-de-leche.htm - http://www.euroresidentes.com/Recetas/cocina-argentina/dulce-de-leche.htm - http://www.escueladecocina.net/recetas/receta-de-dulce-de-leche.php. Sorry they are all in Spanish) include vanilla as an added ingredient. It can be, of course, left out. <br />I confess I have never prepared it myself, it requires a lot of patience. <br />Thanks again for you comment.<br />Best regards,<br />AlejandroAlejandro del Pinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00283077257703984711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2245742803850545847.post-49902932787367172662010-04-25T07:11:33.301-07:002010-04-25T07:11:33.301-07:00As a native to Argentina who spent many summers in...As a native to Argentina who spent many summers in Uruguay, I have correct you: Dulce de leche does not have any vanilla. Not the original, not in Argentina and not in Uruguay. Milk and sugar, that's it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
