It is a traditional dish of Hispanic American cuisine. It is particularly common in the cuisine of the Silver River region, where it is especially popular in Uruguay and Argentina, although variations of it can also be found in other countries in the region. Its origins date back to the 18th century, influenced by European recipes brought over by immigrants.
It is traditionally prepared on rainy days and served with mate or coffee with milk.
