of Argentina are famous mate and meat. Mate is not only Argentina and neither is the flesh, but it is where most consumed and promoted. Mate is taken in almost all provinces of the country and change its form of presentation depends on it, the meat is consumed in all provinces and its presentation does not change much.
Most people who are not vegetarians come to this country as a carnivore paradise and no one cares about food when it arrives, but as stated in the famous joke (mom's for dinner today? Meat and tomorrow? Meat and tomorrow? Carne ...) after a year two, maximum three, the meat is the least we and the mate is more to be with friends who by the grace to take it.
What to do?
In Buenos Aires, Capital Federal Argentina, is very difficult to eat if no one comes from a neighboring country such as Uruguay (eat well) because there much variety to hand or pocket, which becomes more or less similar. Not much variety or fruits or vegetables and also of different meats (like fish) or grains. To find variety is to navigate and fairly, or pay an international restaurant. This was not initially seen as a problem (displacement) but if not have the time or if we are disordered, it can be.
Where can we fish?
In the neighborhood Chinese located in the neighborhood of Belgrano weekends we get up early and find the day's catch is not cheap, but you can buy in bulk and freeze and go giving us a taste.
Where can we find more fruit than apples and oranges?
That is more difficult, the Chinese in their neighborhood selling passion fruit or passion fruit, as well as papaya or papaya, pineapple or pineapple hopefully you can find at any supermarket and green bananas or green banana, green grocers, Bolivians and Peruvians in general are well equipped and sold much cheaper than supermarkets, but do not expect to find more.
Maybe going to the Bolivian market Liniers can find a greater variety or if we have a good budget, there is a business of marketing fruit pulp commercial @frutasenpulpa.com is fashionable now last wave green then weekends are opening up a green market in the Chacarita neighborhood and San Fernando (the first is on the subway B-red-Dorrego and the second station can go on the bus number 60 or on the train to Tigre, San Fernando station.)
In short or have to get used to the meat, Milanese (breaded steak), fried or baked, the baked pies and pastry (which is not bad but at the point of no pie live happily) the salad (radicchio, tomato, onion and egg and carrot) the pizzas with boiled eggs, red pepper or pimento, mozzarella cheese, olives and lots of poor quality and no tomato sauce. Do not get confused when they see a menu or menu, the chicken rice dish because there is only a portion of plain rice (because here it made just like pasta) and a chicken above.
do have cravings, nostalgia, call it whatever you want to arepas and empanadas Colombia is a place where as they themselves were at home and even cheaper than it is in Colombia arepaya.ba @ gmail.com
Yes, that is, living in Buenos Aires is incredible but the food is the worst in the world, do not know why it is here where so many schools to become a chef because the food taste and variety in it, not dish every day, so to cook or eat meat ...!
drunk or eaten, it does not matter-
addition

mate, it would be for many others such as coffee or tea, many soft drinks are taken, flavored water, wine, champagne and appetizers or as a digestive the fernet . The coffee we all hope to take in the thousands of cafes capital is a bitter dream. Besides having more than a name and a specification (or tiny jar-big; tear-Painted, milk or cut) is horrible and expensive. Most consumed coffee, at least in capital, is brought from Brazil are not exactly famous for its coffee-and above, roasted or toasted with sugar and the experiment results in that if milk is not requested .... In the end, you end up getting used to the taste.
The wine is another surprise! We all know that Latin American countries came rather few Chile and Argentina no more and are very good, but we did not know was how, as at least in Argentina, the Argentines themselves tend to take it. Do not panic when you see one of those very famous Malbec , so good, so hard to find a good price, outside of gaucho country, next to a coca cola or failing soda and you are wondering, those beverages must be for children or the person who does not drink alcohol ... But no! Still less, when you serve the wine and half of the cup fill it with coca cola or soda .... Sparkling wine called? No, it is normal and this tradition is quite a mystery, Europe is not safe.
Fernet is an explosion of taste in the mouth of the less experienced, is a tract that in some European countries is taken as such, after each meal, here also take it with molasses and a drink. We assume that after the meat and egg pizza all need several glasses of Fernet with Coke does not?
