Famed
for its diet of meat, meat and more meat, my dabbling in vegetarianism
has been put on hold since my arriving in Argentina. Hamburgers, hotdogs
and of
course steaks being the call of the day, near enough every day since my
arrival a fortnight ago. This weekend I was invited to my first Asado
for a celebration of a friend’s mother 71st birthday.
After
a productive week in the classroom is great to get out and practice out
in the real world - and with some tasty morsels too of course. Arriving
at the
house, met with the obligatory kiss on the cheek, I was shown out to the
back garden where the food was cooking up. On the grill were a giant
stack of Chicken and Chorizo though these were second fiddle to the
entire goat slow roasting in front of an open
fire. It was great to get to witness and enjoy such an essential part of
Argentinian culture with my friend’s father, and self-proclaimed
Gaucho, manning the grill.
