Argentina
food is that food which is ethnically
associated with the people of Argentina.
If you are looking for Argentina food,
you are looking for food and recipes
that were invented by the inhabitants
of Argentina. If you are in that country,
you should have no problem at all. If
away, you can still find it. Beef holds
sway in Argentina food. Argentines consume
beef in large quantities, with some
people eating it more than once every
day. A preferred manner of eating beef
is the asado or barbecue. The highly
flavored European effect is still apparent
as the cooking expressions criollo (creole)
and Porteño entail. Grilled meat
is a staple food, with steak and beef
ribs readily available.
Breaded and fried meat
are eaten as snacks or in sandwiches.
They are also consumed when hot with
mashed potatoes. Pastries of meat, cheese,
sweet corn and a hundred other types
are also favorite cuisine. Milanesas
is a favorite meat dish made up of a
thin slice of beef, chicken or veal.
Each slice is covered with beaten eggs,
spiced with salt, paprika and other
ingredients. This is placed in breadcrumbs
and lightly fired in oil.
Argentineans also eat
lots of vegetables, salads and Italian
food like pizza. Vegetables and salads
are favorites for Argentines as much
as beef,
The usual drink
of Argentina is a drink similar to tea
and is called “mate.” Dried
leaves and twigs are put in a small
cup, generally made from a gourd, but
also bone or horn. It is used with a
liberal quantity of sugar and hot water.
