At least in Spain, the small, semi-circular shaped "empanadas" are actually called "empanadillas" --Pezezin 22:15, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jewish Empanadas
It has been discovered that Spanish Jewish families who were conversos also incorporated Empanadas into their family recipies. See here This should be included on the main page as well. Artemisboy 16:03, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Empanadas in Brazil
The pictures of empanadas in other latin-american countries look like the brazilian pastéis. I actually have never heard of "empanadas" where I live (Rio de Janeiro); the closest term would be empadas (which don't look like the empanada pictures found here).
[edit] Empanadas in Mexico
The picture of empanadas in Mexico is not quite accurate as salty empanadas are very very popular even more so than sweet ones. Mole empanadas and tuna and ham and cheese empanadas should be highlighted as they do not seem to show up in other countries. Well mole is purely Mexican. Also many times puff pastry is used in Mexico instead of the regular wheat dough. This makes them similar to a filled croissant but they are called empanadas. The bit on Pastes from Hidalgo was good.
[edit] Empanadas in Argentina
I specificated that the immigration of Galician was mostly to Argentina and Uruguay where they are a big percentage of the population, while in other parts of L. America the immigration was much more less numerous and in many of them inexistent.
[edit] Photos
I swapped the photo at the top because I feel that in the photo of the Peruvian empanadas, the emanadas aren't prominent enough and it doesn't help people coming to the article to get a good idea of what empanadas are like.
I also feel that there is a lot of potential for this article to have more photos to really show the variety of empanadas that exist. It's not to difficult to go out and buy a few local empanadas, take a photo and upload it to Wikipedia (the Commons is the best place). GringoInChile 07:23, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
