Carne, pizza, y empanadas

If you sum up the number of meals I´ve eaten here that haven´t primarily consisted of beef, pizza, or empanadas--meat & cheese wrapped in bread--you will not come up with a very large number.

The meal closest to an Argentine´s heart is an asado. Asado is a fatty cut of beef slow-grilled over hot coals. It is usually eaten with bread, to make the fat go down more easily, and is sometimes accompanied by a small salad.

Pizza is a surprisingly popular. I attribute this to the large population with italian roots.
