One of the many delights of traveling to Buenos Aires is the food! I have to admit not all Argentine is great. For a country known for it's beef, I had some pretty crappy burgers there. Since Argentina, in general, is a place for meat, those of you who are vegetarians or vegans will have trouble finding savory food options in the city. Here are some tips to eating out like an Argentine!
1. When eating pizza, all Argentines eat pizza with a fork and knife. If you eat it with your hands, people will stare at you!
2. Not all beef is created equal. Eating an expensive steak dinner (by Argentine standards) will give you better steak than paying for a cheaper option.
3. Do not eat the hamburgers at the carts on the street (no matter how hungry you are). As someone who has tried them, the meat was not good and very unsanitary.
4. Order some Argentine wine- Malbec red wine or Torrontes white wine- with a meal. You won't regret it!
5. Try a different restaurant each week. That way, you won't get bored with the same place or same food for the semester. You never who you're are going to meet if you try a new place!
