1. The Inspiration: What is an Argentinian "Submarino"?
In Argentina, enjoying hot chocolate is rarely as simple as pouring liquid from a carton. Instead, locals practice a cherished tradition known as the "submarino" (submarine).
Here is how it works: you are served a tall glass of steaming hot milk alongside a solid block or bar of real chocolate mounted on a stick. You submerge the chocolate "submarine" into the depths of the hot milk, watching it slowly dive, melt, and transform the milk into a thick, creamy, and deeply flavorful hot chocolate as you stir. It is part science, part art, and entirely delicious.
