ARGENTINE EXPERIENCE TOP 10: NO 7
Free bread - Moments upon sitting down at any restaurant in the country, a basket of bread will be placed on your table… and the best part about this good looking bundle of joy is (besides the fact it always guaranteed to arrive at your table) issss the fact it’s complementary! So my thoughts are why bother paying for a meal when you can get your daily nutritional needs from a hearty loaf of Anti–Atkins diet carb enriched sugary, fluffy white bread?! And old dear Atkins, I ask you this old chap: why are there not loads of tubby Fatsos wondering the streets of Argentina, if bread is the devil?
Every meal you eat in a household is accompanied with pan, wake up with toast and end your day with bread in the centre of the table at dinner. When I was a kid, every meal at dinner time, I would sit at the table, butter my bread, add a slice of cheese then proceed to put the contents of my plated meal into a sandwich.. no matter what the dish.. I am talking from spaghetti to stir fry!
These days my poor tummy doesn’t do the same hearty job like it used to and my stomach looks like a malnutritioned bloated African child after eating bread, it may sometimes limit me on the amount I eat but my eating of bread will never be stopped! BUT I must say even for me, I thought the step was taken one step to far when the other night for Mario's birthday we had Japanese and yes.. crazy and coocoo over bread as they are, the carb obsessed Argentines still broke bread with raw fish, sushi and soy sauce!
