Argentina is a country that dinners late. By the time we're paying for our meal around 9:30, the locals are just arriving.
Maté - tea made from Yerba mate leaves and traditionally drank through a metal straw in a gourd. Even better with a teaspoon of sugar.
Wine - adult grape juice. See post on Malbecs and Torrontés.
Cerveza artesenal - craft beer. We haven't had much of this in other countries, so yeah, it's making the food blog.
Bife de chorizo - sirloin steak. We probably have steak at least once a day and we would probably choose this cut every time. It's big and juicy with just the right amount of fat.
Lomo - if we're not having bife de chorizo, it's tenderloin.
Parrillada - all the grilled meats, including the organs. Perfect for us to share; Peter gets the outside and Priscilla gets the inside!
Tamal - a portable appetizer made of masa and wrapped in a leaf. Sometimes has things inside like meat.
Locro - a hearty stew of potatoes, corn, another vegetable, and some kind of meat.
Empanadas - these should be homemade and have a good filling to dough ratio. The picture below was taken when we had 10 delicious empanadas which is an acceptable number of empanadas to have.
Argentine red meat is well known all around the world for its high quality. how does it taste?
