Kevin Parker Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Recently, Argentine cuisine was named the 33rd best in the world, above Jamaica, Venezuela, Pakistan, Egypt, among others. Food in Argentina was influenced by Italy, Spain and the Arab world, as well as indigenous cuisine and neighbouring countries. These are some staple foods from the End of the World: Empanadas (usually filled with minced cow meat, chicken or vegetables) Choripán (try it with typical Argentine sauces: chimichurri, criolla, etc.) Asado (perhaps the most popular Argentine food) Puchero (perfect for winter) Sorrentinos (Argentine-made pasta) Canelones Provoleta (grilled cheese) Matambre The people's favorite: Milanesa (usually with puré or fries) The National dish: Locro Pastel de papa Fugazzeta (pizza filled with cheese and more cheese and onions on top) Medialunas The National drink: Mate Classic alfajores Alfajores de maicena Flan Panqueques (filled with delicious dulce de leche) Pastelitos Chocotorta And there's so much more!

andresg770 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I have an Argentine friend who lives in Richmond, VA (I'm in Maryland, but right next to DC), and I will WALK to her house, if need be, if she ever invites me to an asado at her place Last time I was there for one, I was chowing down things I never eat, like gizzard and blood sausage. That's how good he is with the grill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoPapi Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 They have good steaks but their food is mostly a derivative of Italian food due to the high number of Italians that moved there. the BEST South American food is Peruvian. Such a rich and flavorful mixture of indigenous, Asian and European flavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selenasworld Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Why is this on base? Has argentina a thread? Anyway looks like everything already done (except for the locro) but Argentinians really finesse everything they touch variety not so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
