What Bizcocho is
Small sweet biscuit, eaten with coffee or mate.
Bizcocho is listed as a bakery item in the Uruguay guide, where the index tags it vegetarian. That is the useful shorthand, but it is not the whole story: the same name can cover a breakfast version, a street version and a restaurant version with different garnishes and prices.
Where to find Bizcocho
Bizcocho is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Uruguay. Bakeries sell out early, so go in the morning and follow the queue rather than the signboard.
The Uruguay guide also covers 7 dishes and 2 bakery items; open the country page for the full menu and the other places in the index.
