They get their sale prices confused (ahora = now and antes = before)
Their pepper grinders are a tad too large
They use funny products
Their politicians resemble pirates
Their idea of pizza is just a lot of cheese and bread (never repeat this to an Argentine or they will kill you)
They are in desperate need of a self-service check-out line. This is the normal length of a grocery store check-out line. We usually walk into the store, one person stands in line with the cart, and the other person does the shopping. Still takes a long time.
BUT,
we love Buenos Aires because it delivers where it really counts:
They have the best bakeries, pastelerias, “sweets” stores, etc. on every corner and just the thought of leaving Buenos Aires induces withdrawals
I have a serious thing for their coffee. And have you heard of dulce de leche or alfajores? They are my two favorite foods and I eat them everyday.
The husband has a thing for their empanadas (those are some yummy homemade ones by Chef Abs) and medialunas + submarino (dark chocolate dipped in hot milk)
We like wine. We like cheese. The Argentines really like wine and cheese. We are in heaven.
Have you heard of gelatto? Have you heard of 2 flavors of gelatto for $2? We have.
I guess we really like the food here.
ok, so that’s Arab food, but you get the point
