Why do Argentines like to eat barbecue?

It is reported that in the accommodation of the World Cup, Argentina gave up a five-star hotel for barbecue, but chose a university dormitory so that players and staff could taste the taste of Qatar in their hometown. So why do Argentines like to eat barbecue? Let me introduce you.

Why do Argentines like barbecues? Argentines love barbecue, which is a taste tradition brought out from the womb. No matter what happy things happen, even if it is fine weather, the Argentine's mood will immediately evoke memories of the barbecue taste, which will lead to the secretion of saliva. If there is a ball game and your favorite team wins, barbecue and beer will be the best celebration. If you don't come to a roadside stall for a "Qiuli Bar" (sausage with bread), you can live up to your good mood.

Argentina is considered as the "granary and meat bank" of the world. The rich pastures in the grasslands of central pampas contribute millions of tons of high-quality beef every year. Argentines who "love meat" only export a small part, and the rest are only for domestic consumption. It is said that a middle-income family of four in Argentina can eat a cow every year, and there is only one way for them to cook beef: charcoal barbecue.

Buenos Aires, the capital, is a veritable "barbecue capital" with a population of one quarter of Argentina. Barbecue shops can be seen everywhere here. Some barbecue shops will attract customers and directly set the barbecue workshop in the street position. Passers-by can see the master dressed in traditional gauchos clothes skillfully cooking the greasy beef on the iron grate, and suddenly the saliva will flow out at an accelerated rate.

For authentic Argentines, if conditions permit, they prefer to have an "Assado" (Spanish means barbecue) in their backyard, so whether it is a bungalow villa or an apartment building, barbecue grills or iron grills have become standard configurations. Even if they go out on weekends, they will bring a simple barbecue grill and have a barbecue meal on the riverside in the lush forest. Smoky, fragrant, children playing, friends talking, the flavor is stronger.

Some people say that eating barbecue in Argentina can be divided into "literary eating" and "martial eating". People who "eat" can go to madero Port, the most modern port in the capital, find a tall barbecue shop, order a beautifully decorated medium-rare steak or tenderloin with blood in it, and chew it slowly with brand-name red wine; Those who "eat martial arts" can go to an old shop in the old city, order a barbecue platter of tenderloin, steak, sausage, kidney and thymus for many people, and let go of their hands and feet to eat.
