A little bit of everything

La Comida de Buenos Aires

I spent the last five days eating my way around Buenos Aires, Argentina. The first photo is a chorizo sausage on a roll with a spicy salsa on top. I got this from a street vendor in La Boca near the stadium of the La Boca Junior soccer club. The giant plate of meat was only half of our asado lunch in Recoleta, a nice area in BsAs. The photo below was our lunch cooking on the grill before the brought it to us. This country loves their meat. And I love the meat in this country. More to come as we wind our way around Argentina.
