SPECIALTIES OF TRADITIONAL CREOLE CUISINE

In addition to grills, many foods represent the customs of the people of this land, some

purchased from the colonial era, some of Aboriginal, and others that derive from both.

In the capital there are some restaurants, but mostly in the interior of the country where they

can enjoy the different nuances of each region and in their original environment.

A unique opportunity to test are the fairs and festivals, where small stalls set up grills and

wood.

The most typical are the pies, cut meat knife, tamale (corn), fried cheese, locro made from

white corn with pork sausage, the curanto source is a Mapuche food is prepared by a well on

earth where light coals and put meat and vegetables, then covered with large sheets of nalca

Other specialties include tamales (wrapped in corn husks), carbon, meat loaf and potatoes,

Patagonian lamb and goat on a spit, sweet cakes,

fried cakes and porridges.

dishes from other regions were consolidated and popularized as their own, thanks to the

strong influence of immigrants, especially Italian, Spanish, French, Greeks, Arabs and Jews.

For that reason, today the city has restaurants of the most diverse ethnic groups, which today

joins Asian cuisine, especially China and Taiwan in the area of the Barrancas de Belgrano

(Chinatown), where is Chinatown, and Thai and Japanese generally in fine restaurants andsushi bars.

Anyway, the city's gastronomy feature remains the flesh, in its various cuts and preparation
