Not much in the way of ruffage and vegetables * , as Argentina is a meat lovers paradise . However being a port city and having an urbanized society mainly in BA , there is plenty of seafood as well ..

* yes there are also vegetarians in Argentina

My own personal recipe for "Gazpacho-Gaucho"

1 french or italian bread
4-5 medium tomatoes or 6-7 Roma/Plum style
1 clove garlic
1 cucumber
1 bell pepper
1/2 purple onion
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt or to suit taste
1 teaspoon ground black or white pepper
1/4 cup red wine vineger
1/4 cup balsamic vineger
1/2-3/4 cup extra virgen olive oil
* about 2-3 cups of water if necessary
* Cilantro garnish
*sour cream
*hard-boiled egg

A blender or a hand-held blender , + a knife for dicing is all the tools needed..

1. add tomatoes and garlic in the blender after removing the butt-core , you may also peel them if you like its up to you
2. add all the seasonings and vineger +oil to blender at high speed for about a min or two.
* 3. you may add all the vegetables to the blender if you like it soupy
4. dice cucumber , onion , bell pepper into very fine pieces so you can add a nice crunch to your soup. separately or mixed in with the final batch.
5. refrigerate minimum 1 hour or overnight for best flavor

The dish is best served cold during very hot summer days on the farm or cattle ranching in Salta , It is amazingly refreshing and satisfying and completely vegetarian . goes well w/ bread

4-6 servings but you'll want more than just 1 trust me on this!...

Anyone ever had entraña stuffed w/ pimentos and Roquefort??? A friend of mine from Santa Fe used to make it in the oven and we would all salivate just smelling it cook.. the taste was outstanding as well...

Some time ago, I came across this webpage (http://www.pasqualinonet.com.ar/) that has lots of Argentine recipes and useful advice. I haven't checked it in a while but it was great help at a time where I was desperate to eat some of our trademark meals.

I just bought a box of mantecol in Toronto. The shop owner was selling the bars for 3 dollars each and I asked how many he had, because he only had three left in the display, he said he still had a box in the back. I said cool I will buy the box, thinking hey this guy has a box of a dozen right so 30 some dollars is cool for something I can hardly get here in Canada. So get this, the old guy comes back from the back of the store with a shipping carton of 2 dozen boxes of 12!!!!:eek: I bought the lot.:D That is right this crazy idiot just payed over 400 dollars for mantecol:eek:.
I have enough for a looooong time, now I got to find a way to keep it fresh.

[El viejo Matias]

I figure in Cali there would be places to get some, no? There must be a large Argentino population there.
By the way Im so happy the store I usually go to for mate now carries Rosamonte as well!!:D

You're crazy man. I bet you in a few weeks you'll be sick of it, or you'll probably end up getting sick.

F&*k a few weeks I can't smell allready without getting a bit ill:D. But hey I'll store it, my family got lots and I have been giving it out at work too.

I think that guy saw me coming and I was going to go to Argentina soon but it fell through because of job related problems and lack of funds. So feeling homesick and seeing this treat I went nuts on the spot, ( my wife is still pissed:rolleyes:).

[El viejo Matias]

No she likes the stuff, but the money I spent on it she is not to pleased with. Oh well what can you do?:D;)

get a wife that understands the pressures of living without mantecol.
