For long periods, urban areas such as [[Albalitor]], [[Agrila]], and [[Montia]] welcomed [[South Sarpedonian immigrants]], including, above all, those of [[Grajnidar]] and descent. Nevertheless, there was also a migratory flow of [[Yytuskian]], [[Burgundian]], and Punth immigrants arriving in Pelaxia. Among the countless changes this melting pot brought was the enrichment of the culinary art. Dishes such as pasta, pizza, ([[stew]]s), [[croqueta]]s ([[fritter]])s, [[sauce]]s, [[embutido]]s ([[sausage]]s), and chicken and meat courses brought a wider scope of options to daily menus. Furthermore, the bread-making, dessert, pastry, and dairy industries have achieved considerable development in this region. | For long periods, urban areas such as [[Albalitor]], [[Agrila]], and [[Montia]] welcomed [[South Sarpedonian immigrants]], including, above all, those of [[Grajnidar]] and descent.

[[Bread]] products are consumed all around the country. The deeply rooted bread, pastry, and dessert-making tradition derives from blending the above nationalities' products. [[Bakery|Bakeries]] sell not only a wide scope of breads, cookies, and cakes, but also pastries. The latter resembles a sort of roll [[pastry]] whose main dough ingredient is either butter or fat and which may be simple or stuffed with [[dulce de leche]], [[milk]], [[jam]], crema pastelera, or quince or apple jelly, among other fillings. The most popular type of pastry is said to be that of ''crecientes'' ( literally half crescent), based upon [[Burgundian]] [[croissant]]s. Furthermore, [[sandwiches de miga]] are another type of bread products; they are made only with thin layers of [[white bread]] (generally referred to as crustless bread) and stuffed with food items ranging from [[ham and cheese]] to other more sophisticated combinations such as raw ham, tomatoes, olives, hard boiled eggs, tuna, lettuce, red pepper, and the like. | [[Bread]] products are consumed all around the country.

[[Chantilly cream]] is widely consumed and used in preparing sweets and desserts.
