  • Argentina if you haven't tried Argentinian beef before your way in from

  • Uruguay they have very good speed same like in Argentina we're not going to

  • leave them out because they're good if you haven't tried the beef in this land

  • you haven't tried anything yet nothing compared in the flavor of this beef

  • these are animals that are raised grazing natural grasses and the flavor

  • of the beef is something that you're not going to find any words in the world it

  • only has salt and pepper they are famous for that and it's not just a cliche is

  • the truth when you come here and you taste it it's it's a flavor that it

  • cannot be reproduced with any spices with any sauce with any gravy with

  • nothing it's a natural taste that's in the in the in the meat you know and it

  • cannot be duplicated anywhere in the world so come now you know people come

  • to Argentina coming here says the origins I'm in the gringos and the great

  • desert us here I seem to be the only one who's actually attacking it a little

  • something that you guys can share and then it arrives and it's a beast and a

  • piece of desert our homemade tiramisu it's no good it's not like the lights on

  • the flavor bit of cinnamon and cocoa powder on top there's so much cream do

  • you have a great burden on your shoulders

  • alright guys so we are back at home now back in the apartment that was a

  • wonderful first dinner first barbecue back in Argentina how did you enjoy it

  • oh it was amazing the that meat that we had it was just

  • out of this world it's Argentinean beef your way and beef

  • also I always say the people from your way they have a pretty good meat in the

  • same like in Argentina so I always they always go together you know but this is

  • something that you're not going to find any words in the world you know it's the

  • flavor of this beef is just yeah to describe it you know yeah I got to taste

  • it yourself yeah I'm a little bit still from I sister right this morning after a

  • 14-hour flight and I'm still like I know I feel like I'm in the air I don't lag

  • and kind of I'm not in my hundred percent capability so even to eat I was

  • a little bit you know slow but yeah we took care of that one we ordered and not

  • enough one portion for each of the three of us but we ordered for two people and

  • that was more than enough because we almost we couldn't even finish we had to

  • like push ourselves to try and finish everything in front of us because it was

  • so much food I'm price wise well we're talking about

  • the meal the total was 46 US dollars right so if you take that and you

  • divided by three it's basically 15 u.s. dollar person and so that included the

  • complimentary bread the empanadas yeah a bottle of reserved Malbec a major brand

  • trek PJ yeah two cuts of meat two great cuts of meat this out an awesome solid

  • and it huge slab of dessert to hear tiramisu

  • they brought up yesterday's so even for three people that dessert was yeah

  • there's no way one person should order a dessert for themselves because it yeah

  • if you go to a place like this to this don't forget that here in Argentina the

  • the portions are humongous yeah I mean we are not talking about European sizes

  • or you know some other countries here when they they serve you they serve you

  • in such an amount that how do I finish these so always be cautious if you order

  • as always the waiter is this enough for two and they're going to tell you as a

  • portion that is enough for two people so so you don't leave anything behind you

  • know like you ordered to order and then you cannot finish it so that's that's

  • the thing that you have to always be aware of when you come to this to this

  • country but they eat they eat good everything is tasty but the portions are

  • huge you know yeah so that's something you you need to be yeah so another

  • fantastic meal we also have a fun schedule tomorrow

  • what's yeah we're planning to go in search or what's been named the best

  • milanesa in the whole city a super meanin asa that like overflows from a

  • plate yeah so we're gonna track that place down

  • that's the plan yeah now that we've got full bellies we're gonna get a good

  • night's rest yeah maybe maybe a cafe con leche in the

  • morning oh that's a must yeah Cafe con Leche when Osiris you need

  • to try it is the best coffee Kaka fail there that you can get you know I mean I
