What do they eat in Argentina? Meat. And for good reason, Argentina is known for producing some of the best quality red meat in the world. Due to its popularity many Argentinians eat it almost every day, in all kinds of exciting ways.
Here, grilling is elevated to an art form. Asado is barbecued beef roast, Churrasco is grilled steak, 
and Parrillada refers to different cuts of meat and blood sausage (morcilla) grilled over an open fire. Asados are usually served with Chimichurri, a light sauce made with garlic, herbs, olive oil and lime juice or wine vinegar. Another common meal is Milanesa, breaded and fried steak served with mashed potatoes.
Other common dishes are borrowed from their Italian ancestors. Pizzas, pastas and potato ñoquis (Gnocchi) are very popular. Polenta, a corn meal dish served with cheese and tomato sauce is also an Argentinian staple. Another favorite is the Spanish paella. Wine is also considered a part of the meal. It’s not rare to have a glass of wine with lunch before returning to work or other duties.
In the late afternoon, comes time to enjoy some coffee or tea. Typically, Yerba Mate is the tea of choice. The leaves are placed inside a gourd and hot water is poured on top of the leaves to brew the tea. Families and friends share the same mate by drinking out of a single bombilla. The bombilla is a metal straw with built in filter on one end, preventing any leaves from coming up into the straw. Sharing mate is a social activity but it’s also cultural. If a guest is unwilling to share it’s usually considered rude or even offensive.
Small tasty treats include empanadas and alfajores. An alfajor consists of dulce de leche samdwiched between two cornmeal cookies. Alfajores are sometimes filled with other jams or jellies and even covered in chocolate.
Argentina food may be most commonly known by the high consumption of meat, but there’s a lot more to offer. Yerba mate, empanadas and alfajores amongst many others are delicious purely Argentinian foods.
