We're in Buenos Aires and what better way to get to grips with a new city
than by joining a food tour. We're super excited that Parrilla Tour have
invited us along on their Palermo tour so off we go
first stop was chimichurris (choripan actually!) I think I'm butchering that pronunciation but
chorizo sausage on bread, amazing sauce what a start, so they have a lot of
finger food in Argentina so that was our first stop we're now walking to the next
restaurant for more finger food
Our first empanada experience. Mmm it's like a bolognese-y mince filling. It's really tasty, and these are baked in a clay oven
That was incredible Our first empanada experience was a success
It did not disappoint! I loved how they were really moist- the meat not all
dry and sort of a bit of nothing because I've always wanted to try an empanada
but I've always thought they look pretty damn dry. It wasn't at all. But those things... at all...
Like the pastry was really soft and not flaky but it was was like a short
pastry but oh gosh. And we had white wine with it because the beef had been
marinated in white wine and it worked the treat it was a sav from the
northwest of Argentina. Near Salta. Now where to? The third stop= asado so it's going to be a
meat feast. Meat feast here we come. We forgot to say this is a walking tour
so it's really neat we're getting to sort of wander the neighborhood we're
finding out bits and bobs about the neighborhoods as well as food along the
way
That's cheese. Grilled cheese!
So much flavor. This is the skirt steak. It's really really really delicious
that was so good the meat was incredible with all those amazing grilled
vegetables it's just there's something about these food tours, you learn so much you learn
so much more than about food you meet a lot of interesting people so many
there's a lot of Americans on this particular tour but there's some Irish
it's incredible the whole thing we're learning about food, culture different
people's lives, how they came to be here it's great. Time for ice cream
Pistachio and flan. Eeeeek excited! I got dulce de leche and cappuccino mm-hmm. Heavenly.
Perfect end to a fantastic tour with Parrilla Tour it was just an amazing night our guide Aileen
was full of information, we had incredible food. It was brilliant. It was a winner. Don't forget
