So we finally arrived in Buenos Aires, after 28 hours travelling, 1 near missed flight, 1 "we don't have a seat for you", and many "lo siento,no enspanol"s we have managed to outrun the jet lag and survive day 1. We also had our first 'parrilla' experience... The Argentinian grill. Dinner tonight was at La Dorita in Palermo. An old school grill restaurant that got fuller and fuller as the night went on, as did we. Our menu: tres carnes (3 meats)- beef sirloin, pork something or other, and possibly both beef and pork flank (we aren't entirely sure). It was pretty good, though some cuts were a little fatty and some a little overcooked. The sirloin was best in both our opinions. My favorite morsel was probably the side dish of a buttery, fluffy mashed potato with fresh spinach mixed through, a dish I will definitely replicate at home. The Grilled mixed veggies (pumpkin, peppers, ? Ocra, more potato, eggplant) were also very good, as was the botella vino tinto we washed it all down with. A very pleasant beginning to our trip.
Until next time, happy eating!
