1- Costillas... aka LAMB and not just lamb, but lamb ribs. Here in patagonia they grill the entire lamb over a wood fire for 1/2 the day and then you pick and choose which cuts you want. We have enjoyed many evenings of this tasty argentinian specialty. The ribs here and about 1,000 times better than anything I have had in the states... they are so tasty that I think well have to go get some more tonight!! Scott actually BBQed lamb the other night so this will be something for everyone to look forward to when we come back home!
2- Vino Tinto... aka red wine! It is cheap cheap cheap and very tasty! I dont know why malbec is so delicious but it just is... I dont question why it is $10 for a bottle of malbec at a nice restaurant... heaven I tell you.
3- Mate... Trini, we get it! Mate is awesome. For those of you who dont know what this is, it is a beverage that argentinians enjoy throughout the day. It tastes similar to green tea, but slightly more bitter. The thing about mate is though, is that it is not about the taste it is about the experience. It is shared with one cup and one straw amongst a group of friends... you just relax, enjoy each others company, and build friendships. Weve spent many hours enjoying mate and I see us enjoying much more on this trip.
So the question really is.. does one need more than lamb, red wine, and mate to survive??
