Jake was going to write the post on food for our trip, but he's gotten caught up reading some novel and so as not to get too far behind, I'll write about it. Jake gets credit for the title though!

I think I read some statistic that Argentines eat more beef than any other people in the world. The estancia we stayed at raises polled herefords, and they were the source of our meat. We got three meals a day plus afternoon tea, and Angelica is an excellent cook. Her husband did the grilling on a built in grill that had areas for grilling both indoors and outdoors connected to the same chimney.

Argentines also love their dulce de leche, a caramel spread. We were served dulce de leche on poached peaches, with our morning toast and afternoon tea, in crepes, and on flan. If you go to an ice cream store they are likely to have at least 5 flavors of ice dulce de leche ice cream.
