When I lived in Chile, I ate empanadas pretty regularly. I like them with cheese inside, but they come with a lot of different things inside. I still make them here in the States sometimes. They also serve a lot of sea food; with such a long coast, I think that makes sense. There are also "Mote con huesillo", "Pastel de choclo", "choripanes", "Churrrascos", "Humitas", "Charkikan", and "pantrucas" =)
It's Empanadas! The main ingredients are minced meat, onion, a touch of garlic and spices, wrapped in a home-made pastry. There some variations with added ingredients. Patel de Choclo - corn pie Humitas - Corn cooked and wrapped in its own leaf Cazuela- soup that is made with beef or chicken and sometimes fish mixed with vegetables. Completo - like a hot dog but more ingredients and bigger!!
They eat bread, lots of it, meat and many processed sweets. They have many typical dishes, cazuela, pastel de choclo, empanadas de carne o mariscos, etc. There are many Chinese food restaurants here, but it's not a daily meal. They often have "asados" (BBQs), which include chorripan (bread with a type of sausage), meat, bread y "ensaldas chilenas" (chilean salad: tomatoes and onions and sometimes cilantro).
