Things Argentines like...

Asado

aka.... meat, meat, steak, beef, and more meat

 

Ham and Cheese

Dulce de Leche

This is put on everything, even toast. Go to most places and something on the menu is dulce de leche flavored.

I share this love with Argentina!

Mate

This weird tea that is only drank out of  these types of cups. You see the people around Argentina walking around everywhere with these sipping on Mate.

Wine

We traveled to Medoza, Argentina... one of the big 7 wine regions in the world! They specialize in great reds like Malbec and Cabernet Sauvingnon.

 

Very Late Dinners, followed by even later nights out

In the style of the Spanish it is not uncommon to go to dinner at 9, 10, or even 11pm in Argentina. As for going out, if you show up at a bar or club before 2am... it is very likely to be empty.

 

Fernet

A liquor the Argenine´s love.... i tried it and wanted to barf. Definitely an acquired taste.

 Pronouncing the ¨ll¨ sound as a ¨shhh¨sound

This accent makes it very hard to understand what they are saying to us who speak very little spanish.

Not flushing toilet paper down the toilet

this is really found everywhere in South America though.

Closing down everything at noon on a Saturday, and not opening back up until Tuesday morning.

Talk about a long weekend. Sounds lovely, but tends to be a bit of an inconvenience to us trying to see things around the country.
