After several months of believing that Argentina had nothing special to offer in the way of food (including their much exaggerated beef, by the way), I have to praise the diversity of offerings in Buenos Aires. We have enjoyed French, Brazilian, and Peruvian offerings; regularly pass sushi and a variety of other Asian restaurants; and, given the opportunity to mix Argentine with other cuisines, I am able to enjoy the ubiquitous empanada more. Pictured are the Brazilian place where we ate last night (sharing a bowl of feijoada, black beans, meat, and chorizo) and the French place (ah, the French food – an appetizer consisting of enough pate for five people). We’re thinking, however, of finishing off our Argentine adventure with a steak – only fair to indulge once more in their national dish. While I can’t say much about the quality of the meat, they sure know how to grill it.
