The most Israeli Argentine there is a shelling of empanadas (and he even likes vegans)

Kika Anzrot gets up every morning at seven, grabs something small to eat and enters the kitchen.

When he comes out of it in the evening, you better be near some pattern

Crispy and mellow in the same bite.

"I was 17 and the news of the Six Day War came to Argentina. They put up a huge board with a cartoon map of Israel and Jordan. I looked and everything got blurry. My body turned to water, my heart fell. I went out and fainted."

Sometime in the middle of the conversation I can no longer resist, and ask Enrique (Kika) Anzrot how old he is.

I have an up-to-date picture of him in front of my eyes, I have minutes of Argentine telephone tune under the guise of dialogue, singing in words.

I have his busy and frenetic agenda and I also have the memory of Mount Empandes that I swallowed right before the conversation began.

So he challenges me to guess with a smile that stretches into the smartphone.

Not surprisingly, I'm wrong.

For surprisingly, I'm wrong about some 16 years.

Kika's first Israeli memory (try calling him Enrique and see what happens) is sour-sweet.

"I was 17 and the news of the Six Day War reached Argentina," he recalled in a conversation with Walla!

NEWS, "Put a huge board with a drawn map of Israel and Jordan. I looked and everything got blurry. My body turned to water, my heart fell. I went out and fainted."

He recovered, walked the next day to the Jewish Agency offices and arrived in Israel in July 1967. "I was here for a year and returned to Argentina, but I always had a desire to return. When there was the attack on the Israeli embassy in Argentina, I said to my wife: 'Honey, it's over, we have no place here, It's not for us. Let's go home. "

"Until the power runs out."

Kika and his wife settled in Netanya, and in recent years he has been weak on a small but bastard home business that provided empanadas to restaurants and shops.

As these began to close and restrict activity due to the corona, Argentina’s famous dough dumplings were left undisturbed, and Anzrot had to adapt himself.

An encouraging conversation with his son, support from advertiser Udi Donir, and a small website, for private clients, was launched.

"I get up at seven in the morning, eat something with my wife and start working until I run out of power," he described his intense daily routine, which is all about doughs and fillings and closing dumplings, and results in empanadas in a double-digit selection of types.

There is a popular meat version (ground beef, chopped onion, hard-boiled egg and green olives), an equally popular cheese version (with a mixture of deep-tasting beef cheeses), vegetable versions (vegan potatoes for example, or mushrooms cooked with leeks, onions and white wine And could have just as well been a proper winter stew) and also something that at first seemed a bit "childish" in taste (corn cooked in a sauce with rich chives) but was aggressively snatched without age discrimination.

Absolutely justified compensation

"Sucks to hear about your experience," said Walt, "immediately pass the feedback to the restaurant."

When you do something with all your heart.

The empanadas come in frozen packages, ready to be baked in the oven or for a slightly more corrupt frying, and require no more than zero work.

They emerge from the oven (or pot) when they are brown and crispy on the outside, performed in a steam symphony and offer a very rich, very mellow and very tasty inside.

A small number embedded at the end of each dumpling signals to the glutton what kind is going to go into it right now and prevents confusion, but given that you are going to eat at least one of each, you are not sure you will need it, or you will care.

"I'm 71 years old, and I have the strength of a 15-year-old. I love what I do," Kika told the Army Freezers and Freezers at his home, "I have a lot of medical matters, but when you do something wholeheartedly, you feel nothing."
