Food for Thought (in Uruguay)

Grappamiel - grappa and honey and probably some other spirits in there. Really nice in front of a fire to warm your insides.

Tannat - most prominent grape in Uruguay. Therefore, it makes a really great wine. It was the only red wine we had while here. 

Cheese - Colonia area is known for cheese thanks to the Swiss immigrants.

Fondue - they also brought fondue! 

Cazuela - soup cooked in a clay pot. The seafood one is particularly delicious. 

Chivito - think hamburger with steak instead of ground beef and an egg. These should be more common in the States. 

Cazón - school shark. Did not realize this was not a fish until we looked it up. 

Asado - an assortment of meat cooked over coals on a parrilla (grill), or bbq. Meatlover's paradise.
