Editing Croissant (section)

===Argentina and Uruguay===
Croissants are commonly served alongside coffee for breakfast, ''aperitivo'' (a light mid-morning meal), or ''[[merienda]]'' (a mid-afternoon meal). They are referred to as ''medialunas'' ("half moons") because of their shape and are typically coated with a sweet glaze (''medialunas de manteca'', "half moons of butter"). Another variant is a ''medialuna de grasa'' ("half moon of lard"), which is not always sweet.
