| Diet |
- Meat dominates Argentina's menus, and 'meat' means beef.
Mixed grills (parrillada) are apparently the way to go,
serving up a cut of just about every part of the animal:
tripe, intestines, udders
- The sharing of mate, Paraguayan tea, is a ritual more
than a beverage, and if offered is a special expression
of acceptance
