If you are a vegetarian \u2013 tough life. The food culture on the mountain spins around Asado, definitely not supporting your life choice. Here is a quote from our discussion with one very friendly Gaucho over a breakfast table at 5:00 a.m.<\/p>\n
The menu was cold selection of grilled meats and other pieces of animal<\/em>.<\/p>\n – Us, bewildered: \u201c\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n – Gaucho: \u201cHow often do you eat meat?\u201d<\/p>\n – My friend: \u201cwell, not so often\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n – Gaucho, after pausing and obvious hesitation: \u201cYou can not afford?\u201d<\/p>\n It turned out a successful person should have meat with every meal and turning down Asado, this friendly ritual, is perceived as very weird if not impolite. Thanks to tourists flow, the idea that some people prefer to \u201ceat like cows\u201d will be accepted and catered for, but you will still be looked on as an alien. We found a middle ground by participating in common Asado bringing corn, cheese and bell peppers and claiming a big part of delicious freshly made guacamole. Polenta is your big friend.<\/p>\n Bottom-line: make a special point to your outfitter (repeat it!) and \/or stock up on vegetarian options.<\/p>\n If you are not a vegetarian \u2013 you are in the land of your dream! Argentinians are superb meat cooks. Steaks are sublime and local wine makes a perfect match.
