The northwest Andes is famous for its spicy food. Mesopotamia is famous for its fish dishes, and the authentic food in Bata Gogna is mutton. Breakfast in Argentina is mostly coffee or tea, as well as toast, cream and jam. Lunch and dinner (usually after 9 o'clock) are very rich, especially dinner, where the family discuss what happened today. The main course is usually barbecue, usually baked on preheated charcoal and served with freshly squeezed juice. This is really a pleasure.
There will be dessert after dinner, usually fresh fruit and delicious ice cream. If tourists don't have a budget, they can try to find good and cheap food in the central market. There are small restaurants everywhere, and they can eat delicious chicken pies, bacon and other foods at half the price of restaurants. There is a McDonald's fast food restaurant near the airport and railway station, which serves beef sandwiches, hot dogs and hamburgers. Generally, restaurants have professional service personnel, and there are many choices for ordering food. Cafe is an important social place for Argentines, where they will chat, discuss business and even propose marriage. A cup of coffee can be drunk for hours, and most of them are simple drinks and meals.
Breakfast in cafes is usually Medialunas and a cup of delicious coffee milk (Che Le Cafe). Bars only sell wine, and even bars in some areas are all male guests, so it is best for female guests to avoid entering. Delicious beef and pizza When it comes to Argentine cuisine, you can't help but mention beef. Argentina is known as the granary and meat warehouse of the world and has always been famous for its high-quality beef. We once had a big beef dinner in Buenos Aires. In a big plate with a diameter of one foot, baked potatoes, salad and lemon slices surround a large piece of roast beef, which looks fresh and tender. There are no common sauces in western food. All seasonings except lemon slices are simple salt and black pepper.
Cut the beef about an inch thick, and the inside of the beef appears attractive pale pink. Sprinkle salt and pepper according to personal preference, squeeze some lemon juice, take a piece and chew it in your mouth. I only feel that the lips and teeth are fragrant, the meat is plump and juicy, and the taste is soft and tender without losing toughness. For those of us who have tasted the original Argentine beef for the first time, this is really a delicious surprise gift. At the kind invitation of Argentine friends, we also tasted authentic Argentine barbecue at the luncheon. Lunch is located in a restaurant converted from an old railway station near parana river. Looking out of the dining room window, the grass is green, the blue sky is clear, and the river is gurgling, just like a picture embedded in a window frame.
The chef in a white hat is busy in the kitchen separated by glass, and large pieces of beef, mutton and other meat are being roasted on a raging fire. Carrot salad, lettuce salad, all kinds of cheese and ham are put in a small wooden plate. After tasting these appetizers, the main character of the banquet-Argentine barbecue appeared. Unlike Brazilian barbecue, which is popular in Shanghai now, Argentine barbecue is roasted on the fire until it is half-cooked, and then placed on a baking tray with an open flame under it. When eating, meat is always roasted, fresh and warm. In order to let us taste all kinds of barbecues as much as possible, the host ordered a assorted barbecue platter for us, including various sausage skewers, beef from different parts, and roasted eggplant with Argentine characteristics.
Therefore, in the sunshine of pampas grassland, pleasant Argentine breeze and the murmur of parana river, barbecue, wine and laughter accompanied us for an unforgettable time. Another delicacy in Argentina is pizza. Unexpectedly, at midnight, I met this world-famous Italian food in an old restaurant in Argentina. It was a wonderful experience.
On that day, we ended our official day in Rosario and drove back to Buenos Aires for 4 hours. When we arrived in Buenos Aires, it was past 1 1 in the afternoon, so we decided to solve the problem of eating near the hotel. Walking into an old-fashioned pizza shop, I didn't expect the seemingly inconspicuous door to be an amazing one.
Besides, this amazing big store is crowded with diners! On dinner night, Argentines can't seem to compete with Spaniards. Not long after ordering, delicious pizza was served. Argentine pizza is different from the Pizza Hut pizza I often eat in China. There are not so many fancy ingredients.
We ordered onion, ham and cheese pizza. On the big pizza, in addition to delicious ham slices and roasted onion shreds, there are thick cheese and attractive frankincense. Take a bite, the wheat flavor of bread, the spicy taste of onion, the delicious taste of ham and the mellow smell of cheese blend together, making people want to eat another bite. According to the waiter in the store, because there are a large number of immigrants of Italian descent in Argentina, Argentine pasta also follows the tradition of Italian pasta. The store where we ate has a history of 80 years. Although the decoration is not fashionable and the tableware is not exquisite, the delicious pizza still attracts many guests. The waiter proudly said that it was difficult to find a restaurant at this time of the weekend.
In yerba mate's impression of Argentina, a man named diego maradona created the football myth with the hand of God. In my mind, I fixed the picture of Argentine spice girls dancing their waists on the court; A song "Don't cry for me in Argentina" makes people deep in thought in their leisure time. Today, Argentina should be happy for Guangzhou people, because it can experience the real South American style and taste the barbecue flavor from Argentina.
Argentina is a country of immigrants. More than 85% of its residents come from the descendants of Italy and Spain, so its food culture has also integrated the ingredients of European western food. Meat is mainly beef, chicken and donkey meat, and pigs rarely eat it. Charcoal barbecue is a local specialty. This is the signature roast Wang Zhongwang steak. You don't need to add salt. You just need to sprinkle some salt and bake it directly with charcoal fire until it is 70% or 80% mature. The appearance is slightly burnt and the meat is scattered.
It tastes crispy outside and tender inside, and there is gravy inside. When Argentines eat barbecue, they have one bite of barbecue and another bite of vegetables. Therefore, every barbecue will be accompanied by some fresh vegetable salad, so that it will not be greasy. Roast beef ribs are also very sweet and fragrant, and the spices are finely cut with onions and green peppers. They are not fat or greasy, fresh and delicious. Paraguay tea is also a specialty of Argentina. It is said that this kind of tea is praised by Argentina as a national treasure and national tea. In the local language, yerba mate means immortal grass and tea. Because it contains a variety of nutrients, it can not only clear cholesterol and reduce blood fat, but also promote blood circulation and refresh the mind.
Therefore, Argentines believe that Yebamadai tea is not an ordinary tea, and the original drinking method of Yebamadai tea of each of them still has certain exquisite characteristics. It is not like drinking ordinary tea or coffee, but a special three-in-one tool, namely a straw, a spoon and a filter. Put it in the tea that has been washed with water, then take a breath, and then suck it slowly. You can stir gently, but don't stir often. It tastes a bit like kudingcha. If you feel bitter, you can add some sugar. Eating barbecue and drinking yerba mate can relieve summer heat and reduce fire. It seems that this is the real ghost herbal tea.
