another asado

Here is another type of Asado. Called "Carne con Cuero", the whole cow is split in half and layed out on sort of a grill, and secured with wires. Then it's leaned against the fire and, again, cooked very slowly.

This photo was taken in Pinamar in January of 2003, and the "chef' here started preparing the cow at about 11 in the morning. It was about 10pm at the time of this photo, and the meat was just about done. Incredibly tasty!!

Sorry for the blurry photo, but there was plenty of smoke and ashes flying around!

	Regarding Food: You must eat a flan Tip Rating:

Flan

Flan is practically the national dessert, and probably you are already familiar with this dessert made of eggs and milk. You will find it on the dessert menu of almost every restaurant, and in many cases it is "flan casera", meaning home made flan. Many people also make it at home. Of all the desserts in Argentina, I think this perhaps is the most typical and I definitely wouldn't leave the country without having eaten it at least once. It is often servd with Argentina's other specialty, dulce de leche, which is like caramel.

Everything for delivery!

What do these three things have in common? They can all be delivered to your home! It is amazing that in Buenos Aires you can just about have anything delivered that you want. The concept is not new, by any means. However, I was just shocked when my friend Leo called the vegetable store to have 2 ripe avocados delivered to our doorstep! It's just an interesting custom, as well as a dangerous one. It is simply too easy to deliver delcious ice cream at 3 in the morning. To heck with the diet, huh?

We also usually have everything from the supermarket delivered. It is an amazing system. We go to the supermarket, pay for everything, and within 2-3 hours it is delivered to your home nywhere in the city! In fact, just some days ago we were at the supermarket and were going to carry everything ourselves but it turned out to be a bit too much--so 1 of the guys from the supermarket walked home with us with the shopping cart and all--right to our kitchen on the 15th floor! Talk about service!!!

While in BA, you should definitely try an empanada, the small little pastry crust filled with either meat or vegetables or cheese or a combination of ingredients. Sometimes the pastry is fried and sometimes it's cooked in an oven.

You'll see places all over town that offer empanadas, but I'd recommend a place called La Querencia at the corner of Junin and Juncal in Barrio Norte (they have other locations too). Try the beef empanadas as the ham and cheese. Yum.

	Regarding Food: Chimichurri Tip Rating:

nothing beats chimichurri
on a good piece of steak

Chimichurri is a green sauce made of chopped parsley, dried oregano, garlic, salt, pepper, onion, and paprika with olive oil. Some folks add lemon juice or vinegar to kick it up a notch. Some call it "Argentine ketchup", but it is more like a steak sauce. Chimichurri is used all over Latin America to wake up the flavour of grilled meat. I discovered chimichurri when I was in Buenos Aires and I couldn't find it in my part of the United States until several years later. Chimichurri is fairly easy to make at home and it is now available in bottles at specialty stores in the U.S. Once you put chimichurri on your steak, friends, you'll never want Heinz 57 or A-1 ever again.

A restaurant in Buenos Aires

*Week days: Lunch is eaten between 1 and 3 pm and dinner between 9 and 11 pm.
*Weekends: Lunch is usually eaten between 2 and 3 pm and dinner between 10 and 12 am.

So you will never see locals sitting at a restaurant before 9 pm. You might consider this if you're used to having dinner at 6 or 7 pm, as restaurants might not be ready to offer a full service at that time.

Restaurant

Could be translated as "sweet milk". You will come across this decadent sweet conserve in one or other form. It might be ice-cream, chocolate covered sweets, just as it is, liquer etc.
It is very sweet, and made of milk, sugar and vanilla.
